This song is about corruption, racism, and religious hypocrisy. It talks about how these issues are prevalent in our world, and how the church has failed in its duty to address them. It's strengthened by suggesting that "If Jesus came down, He'd be shot." Even the embodiment of goodness and purity would not be spared from the violence and hatred of the new world.
It's telling us to be defiant against oppressive forces, urging us to confront and challenge the prevailing systems of power and the destructive behaviors that perpetuate inequality and suffering.
