This song definitely reminds me of Dylan's "It's A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall". It has the same lyrical structure and revolves around one chord progression. It could even be influenced or an homage. Although it does contain biblical references, I think a lot of them could be taken more literally or figuratively.
It really seems to me like it's just about a man's experiences in a foreign (and probably poverty-ridden) land. My favorite lines?
"Saw a prisoner take a pistol
And say, 'Join me in song, join me in song' "
"I saw hungry brothers waiting
With a radio on, radio on."
