Dean Ford had the chance to say it was about Viet Nam when he was interviewed, but he didn't say that. I personally think it goes much deeper than that - deeper as into the meaning of life itself. 1970 was a very spiritual time for song writing, and this one, I think, is one of the most spiritual songs to ever hit the charts. The solution to, "The world is a bad place, a bad place, a terrible place to live," is simply, "Take me back to my own home." In other words, our true home cannot be found on earth; it can only be found in Heaven, and little by little we are all dying to get there!

The song could we be about the famed atheist Fredrick Nietzsche. There are actually many long-standing Nietzsche jokes. Robin Gibb himself has said that it is a very spiritual song. The bad joke that Nietzsche started was the idea that God was dead. Many people who believed Nietzsche would certainly have been crying to learn that their faith was worthless after all. However, Nietzsche finally died, relieving the world from such a twisted ideology. When people began to realize that Nietzsche now was dead, but God was still alive after all, the joke was truly on Nietzsche.
