One line in this song that is interesting is: "You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything"
Paul's mom died when Paul was very young of breast cancer. So who is John talking about? He's talking about Bill and for those that say he was talking about Paul ought to read those lyrics and reconsider. "Jump when your momma tell you anything". There is no momma for Paul.

Momma = handler
Not Mal perhaps, cause while he may have played a "mother" role, nurturing Bill into his role of Paul starting with the trip to Kenya, "momma" sounds more like someone who is calling the shots. I never got that "straights who tell you you was king" business. The only thing I can think of is something John said, that in the absence of Brian, "Paul" appointed himself leader of the group, someone who kept the group going, so the "straights" fed his ego in this regard?

He could have also meant Linda was controlling him. "momma" is sometimes slang for wife or girlfriend. But if anything, that would be more of a self-incriminating comment considering Yoko's controlling influence over John.

I agree it's either the handlers of the "conspiracy" or Linda (and I doubt that one, because surely John realized Yoko had the same effect over him... then again, love can blind you).
Although, in reference to "momma" clues, there's also Band on the Run...
Stuck inside the four walls Sent inside forever Never seeing no one Nice again Like you... momma
