Verse 2 (as verse 1)
Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
Horthy's corpse screened to a million
Tisu revived, the horror of a bullfight

Pre-Chorus 2 (as Pre-Chorus 1)
Fragments of uniforms, open black ruins
A moral conscience - you've no wounds to show
So wash your car in your 'X' baseball shoes

Chorus 2 (as Chorus 1)
We are all of walking abortion
Shalom, shalom, we all love our children
We are all of walking abortion
Shalom, shalom, there are no horizons
