None were level on the mind & Nobody up at his word
Here is a paragraph from the song "All Along the Watchtower" written by Bob Dylan:
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
Hey, hey
Would you please explain the meaning of the expressions that I have underlined and put in red?
Thank you.
