Jesus Christ is talked about in this song. Particularly that he preached to everyone; workers, preachers, and soldiers alike. It talks about how the working class followed him, but the upper class didn't, "so they laid Jesus Christ in his grave". In the end it talks about what it would be like if Jesus preached in New York City like he did in Galilee; according to the song, "they would lay Jesus Christ in his grave". Probably the reason why was because this song was made in the 20th century, a time when communism/socialism was shunned, and Jesus preached very socialistic ideals such as "giving your money to the poor".
