I Am The Walrus With Lyrics

This song by the Beatles is known for its psychedelic lyrics. Though many believe these lyrics were wrote completely at random descending from drug intoxication, they were actually somewhat thought out. The lyrics stem from Lewis Carroll's poem "The Walrus and The Carpenter," which hints on the controlling of a societal system as well as the capitalist system. This directly connects to the Combine in Cuckoo's Nest.



In the poem, the Walrus is depicted as the villain with the Carpenter as the protagonist. Interestingly, John Lennon mixed the two characters up as villain and protagonist when writing his lyrics. Thus, he wrote "I am the Walrus" though it should have been "I am the Carpenter."
