I've read in many places this song is about government. The Thief and Joker represent the middle and lower classes, they stand over looking the castle (the upper class). They know that the upper class takes advantage of everything and looks down upon these two men. There must be some way out of here represents the struggle that these men put forward to break the cycle at hand. It all leads up to them standing outside the castle trying to figure out how to bring them down. But their is no reason to get excited cuz we don't know what they do in the end but we know this is not their fate!
@tayzha26 Your interpretation is very interesting!! This comment change my mind. I thought this song is about the God and the Human who doesn't think thankful about earth.

@tayzha26 I have recently came across this song and i can see how you interpret the song about having to do with the government however i strongly feel that it is talking about Jesus. In my English class many decide that perhaps the song concludes to saying that at the end the "joke is on us" because we think life is a "joke" and perhaps it is true that many of us see life is a joke but as humans we all need a purpose to live and sometimes we lose track of that purpose and realize there's really...

Many people have this mentality! In the song the joker is symbolizing Jesus and the thief can be symbolizing us humans. The joker claims that humans take from him by saying "they drink my wine" and "dig my earth" . Eventually the thief says that they should stop "talking falsely" because it's no joking matter and in all truths we can joke about life and see it as a joke but at the end of the day god has the last word when it comes to judging day and that is if you believe in religion.

@tayzha26 i disagree with you because it doesn't means about representing the government but the joker represents Jesus and the thief when there where both right next to each other. the reason why the joker is Jesus is because he is saying his the son of god and people wont believe him and will think its a joke.

@tayzha26 i can see your point but the "joker" is saying he owns everything and if it's the middle or the lower class they can't own anything it'll have to be the higher class.

@tayzha26 I would have to disagree with this statement because I do not think that the song was based off of the government, his view was more of a spiritual level and a more religious aspect. He talks about the thief and the joker, I believe that the thief is god because he steals our lives when the time is right but the joker is jesus who is part human and part god...Bob Dylan's main argument is life is a joke and us humans are the fools.

@tayzha26 To be honest I don´t think that your argument has any relationship with the meaning of this song, I think this song´s meaning is how Jesus (joker) is getting tired of humanity (thief) who don´t see the true value of life, and takes it as a joke.

@tayzha26 i would have to disagree with your opinion about the government. I believe it's more about jesus talking to thiefs while being crucified. He talks about fate because he believes that the lives they were living wasn't meant for him.

@tayzha26 I would say that this interpretation is spot on. Dylan read the bible quite a lot at one point. The Bible is a book containing stories about the struggles between the prophets and the kings. I think that in the song he uses biblical type imagery in the words he uses.

@tayzha26 Your comment makes a lot of sense and different from the other people who think this song about Jesus, because you have a good argument.
