In response to the above posts by hollyjean7 and skully340, we can truthfully say that is an extremely observation, but is probably the least likely approach: if it had anything to do with christianity, then it would have been paul who wrote it. Along with the whole "paul-is-dead" theory, there is another theory: that paul converted to christianity (not formally, or announced) but he continues some of his old practices (drugs, alcohol, etc.) while dropping most of the religious practices (meditation in zen forms), and adding a few modern practices and hinting his conversion in songs like "freedom. " "holy roller"=rolling joints in bible pages. Basically, I'm saying that ajdsoto is right, except for the hair in verse one: john had teh hair, paul generally kept his relatively short.

This song is the first song in the abbey road medley, but is actually the 9th song on the album, following a plethora of good songs, including I want you (she's so heavy), octopus's garden, and here comes the sun, as well as a few strange ones, like octopus's garden, something, and maxwell's silver hammer. The song is about the beatles' financial problems after their manager passed away, leaving them swamped in their own financial problems, while still giving the song the mindset of any college student who spent a little too much money splurging and not enough time getting a job. The reference to the "funny papers" is how they felt they were paid: the bankers would tell them how much they were worth "on paper," much to the annoyance of the beatles.
