Lyric discussion by tragicallybob 

Its funny how the joker is complaining to the thief that things are being stolen from him (businessmen drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth) and the thief is complaining to the joker that people don't take life seriously and complains about 'speaking falsely'. The two characters pretty much complain to each other about each other.

Did no one else realize this connection? Thoughts?

Any thoughts on the choice of this song in Battlestar Galactica? For some reason it fits so well. There is certainly stg to this song that evokes an idea of layered perspectives and realities, blurred boundaries between right and wrong, and people being at the mercy of their circumstances. Like there is no right and wrong, just different perspectives. There is also a sense of 'chinatown', as in sometime you just don't know or should you bother to find out or worry about things, as the details of life are much too complex to understand. Maybe cylons are not that...
