"What does the song mean?"

It doesn't MEAN anything lol

What does Revolution #9 mean besides the Beatles had to fill two albums to meet a contract requirement with Capitol Records?

Well, both responses are telling. The first one excuses the prude from intruding. The second one is ready money for the rapist that denudes rationality.

Here's more, from von Mises, with two bits for thinking it through again:

Man is not a being who cannot help yielding to the impulse that most urgently asks for satisfaction. Man is a being capable of subduing his instincts, emotions, and impulses; he can rationalize his behavior. He renounces the satisfaction of a burning impulse in order to satisfy other desires. He is not a puppet of his appetites. A man does not ravish every female that stirs his senses; he does not devour every piece of food that entices him;he does not knock down every fellow he would like to kill. He arranges his wishes and desires into a scale, he chooses; in short, he acts. What distinguishes man from beasts is precisely that he adjusts his behavior deliberatively. Man is the being that has inhibitions, that can master his impulses and desires,that has the power to suppress instinctive desires and impulses.
BTW, thanks for replying to my questions; I do mean that, sincerely. There are people today willing to riot because they need satisfaction. They will not deliberate.
