You Never Give Me Your Money lyrics

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.
