The song is called 'I Am The Walrus' and all of The Beatles did not write it, John Lennon did (credited to Lennon-McCartney). Actually, it was written by John after receiving a letter from a pupil from the high school he attended. The writer told him that their English teacher was making his class analyse Beatle lyrics, and John was amused so he wrote the most confusing lyrics he could think of, hence I Am The Walrus.
It was written by John Lennon as a response to the over-analysis of his earlier songs. It was deliberately obscure and surreal to confuse any analysers.
