yes this song seems to look out at the straight world world with a sneering sarcastic eye. John is detached, leading a reclusive life, just catching glimpses of the world through his television set (kellogs ad, meet the wife). These glimpses set his original mind onto surreal trains of thought. However, this could also be about John himself. Perhaps his life in the Beatles is not so far away from the 9-5 office workers life after all. This song shows John to slowly begin to get tired of The Beatles and tired of Mccartneys work ethic about recording. John wants to lead an undiciplined artistic life. He always was lazy.
