I haven't included the spoken recordings, as you wouldn't reproduce them when performing the song.
The reason for the capo is to facilitate the hammer on of the D string in the C chord of the intro
and elsewhere
 
 
[INTRO]
 
C  F C  G C  F C  G
 
 
[VERSE]
          C                  F               C
There's a war on the TV in a town called the world
        F                C                G
And the suits turn their profit while the mayhem unfurls
            C                          F                C
They're all quick to make war but they won't send their sons
          F           C                 G            C     F C    G
Shout the odds like a gangster but they won't hold a gun
 
 
[VERSE]
        C                        F         C
And I'm no' scared of dying I'll fight any man
        F          C                  G
I might no' be the strongest but I'll do what I can
        C                         F           C
And I'm no' that religious but if God's got a plan
       F                C            G        C     F C
Then I don't think it's bombing in a far away land
 
 
[CHORUS]
            F                          C
And there's no use pretending that you don't understand
          G                        Am
With your arse in the air and your head in the sand
          F                              C
You don't need me to tell you that's the way that it goes
        Am
Because deep down inside...
    F                    G       C     F C    F C    F C    G
Way deep down inside you already know
 
 
[VERSE]
                C             F           C
I don't mean to offend or add fuel to the fire
          F        C                 G
We're all stood in silence while the head count gets higher
        C                     F          C
There's divided opinion every corner you turn
    F           C                  G      C      F C     G
Now Nero stands laughing while the Empire burns
 
 
[CHORUS]
            F                          C
And there's no use pretending that you don't understand
          G                        Am
With your arse in the air and your head in the sand
          F                              C
You don't need to me tell you that's the way that it goes
        Am
Because deep down inside...
    F                    G       C     F C    F C    F C    G
Way deep down inside you already know
 
 
[VERSE]
          C                           F           C
There's a race to the finish from the east to the west
             F          C                    G
'Cause we're all waking up now where there's some try their best
     C                        F            C
To divide us and conquer like chickens and cows
       F      C           G           C     F C     G C    F C
On the animal farm as the sun's going down
 
 
[CHORUS]
            F                          C
And there's no use pretending that you don't understand
          G                        Am
With your arse in the air and your head in the sand
          F                              C
You don't need to me tell you that's the way that it goes
        Am
Because deep down inside...
    F
Way deep down inside
    Am
Way deep down inside
    F                    G       C
Way deep down inside you already know
