"Mr. Tambourine Man" seems to be about a drug dealer.

So? A lot of great songs have been written about all sorts of illegal, immoral, or self-destructive activities. But to enjoy those songs doesn't mean that you are personally involved in those sorts of activities, or would ever want to be.

What about "Kill the Poor" by The Dead Kennedys.

They meant it as a satirical swipe at the neutron bomb, but every listener is welcome to his own interpretation ... at least that's what the literary critics claim.
