Yes, this song lays it down exactly how it is. It's a true Christian's perspective on the present state of America. Once founded by Christians, America has been stolen right out from under them. It was a slow, gradual process; after all the Bible tells us that the Seprent is the most subtle of all the beasts of the field (Genesis 3:1). Generation after generation, the behaviour of Americans has become less and less Christian. This moral decay has invaded the churches, the schools and the government itself. The love of God and the love of neighbor has been replaced with the love of MONEY and the love of SELF. Yes, there IS a slow train coming around the bend... the day of reckoning... and in each stanza of the song Dylan gives us all the reasons why it MUST come!
