There's a war on the TV in a town called the world
And the suits turn their profit while the mayhem unfurls
They're all quick to make war but they won't send their sons
Shout the odds like a gangster but they won't hold a gun
And I'm no' scared of dying, I'll fight any man
I might no' be the strongest but I'll do what I can
And I'm no' that religious but if God's got a plan
Then I don't think it's bombin' in a far away land
And there's no use pretending that you don't understand
Wi' your arse in the air and your head in the sand
You don't need me to tell you, that's the way that it goes
Because deep down inside
Way deep down inside
You already know
If you are not close to home when you hear the warning
Go to the nearest safe cover zone
Know where you wanted to go
Or have your own person to help
You know the places marked with the X sign
They're safe places to go when you hear the alarms
I don't mean to offend or add fuel to the fire
But we're all stood in silence while the head count gets higher
There's divided opinion every corner you turn
Now Nero stands laughing while the Empire burns
And there's no use pretending that you don't understand
Wi' your arse in the air and your head in the sand
You don't need me to tell you that's the way that it goes
Because deep down inside
Way deep down inside
You already know
Okay, you can duck for cover this way
Like this person
Heavy doorways are a good place to duck for cover
Gee, if you've seen the film -
There's Tony going to his cupboard, golly
Tony knows the bomb can explode any time of the year, day or night
There's a race to the finish from the east to the west
'Cause we're all waking up now
Where there's some try their best
To divide us and conquer like chickens and cows
On the animal farm as the sun's going down
And there's no use pretending that you don't understand
Wi' your arse in the air and your head in the sand
You don't need me to tell you that's the way that it goes
Because deep down inside
Way deep down inside
Way deep down inside
Way deep down inside
Deep down inside
You already know
