What's this song about?

1
He's a ruthless opportunist
2
And he motivates by greed
3
He's just the way his father was
4
And that we sure don't need
5
So they all cried out, "Destroy him
6
For he wants to see us drowned"
7
They never understood him
8
So they put him in the ground
9
Now some had stood for hours
10
And some sat on the grass
11
Listening to their radios
12
For where the train had passed
13
And a crowd will get impatient
14
As the clock hands turn around
15
They never understood him
16
So they put him in the ground
17
They handed out some candles
18
To the somber, weary crowd
19
And told us not to light them
20
Till our eyes beheld the shroud
21
Not even at that moment
22
Could there be tranquility
23
I could feel them push and argue
24
"Hey, sit down, I cannot see"
25
They never understood him
26
So they put him in the ground
27
When the fathers closed their bibles
28
And the family left the site
29
The ropes and walls and hedges
30
Kind of faded in the night
31
Replaced by all the people
32
Who made a prayerful sound
33
They never understood him
34
So they put him in the ground
35
Some people say the eighth of June
36
But the morning of the ninth
37
The workmen gently lowered him
38
By the beam of three work lights
39
Easy, take it easy
40
Set him down real slow
41
He'd been on some rougher trips
42
But he couldn't tell them so
43
They never understood him
44
So they put him in the ground
45
Now no man has the answers
46
And he was just a man
47
And yet I can't help feelin'
48
That he knew a better plan
49
A shorter road to justice
50
On the trip that's freedom bound
51
But they never understood him
52
So they put him in the ground
