Take that look of worry I'm an ordinary man They don't tell me nothing
So I find out what I can There's a fire that's been burning Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it And it helps to keep me warm So I, I don't mind No I, I don't mind
Seems so long I've been waiting Still don't know what for There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore I can't come out to find you I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings Like they're turning off a light But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind Oh I, I don't mind No I, I don't mind
(**) So take, take me home Cos I don't remember Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember Take, take me home Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord Cos I've been a prisoner all my life And I can say to you
Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night I've got no far horizons I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen Oh but I know who they are And I, I don't mind

Common misconceptions regarding the song's topic are that it is about a man returning home, or that it is about the psychological manipulations of the totalitarian government from George Orwell's novel 1984. In reality, however, Collins has stated that the song lyrics refer to a patient in a mental institution, and that it is very much based on the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. (wikipedia)
