The third song from The Holy Bible, the lyrics were primarily written by Richey Edwards and the music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore.
[Sampled Intro]
I knew that someday I was gonna die
And I knew before I died, two things would happen to me
That number one: I would regret my entire life
And number two: I would want to live my life over again
[Verse 1]
Life is lead weights, pendulum died
Pure or lost, spectator or crucified
Recognised truth, acedia's blackest hole
Junkies, winos, whores; the nation's moral suicide
Loser, liar
Fake or phoney? No one cares
Everyone is guilty
Fucked up, don't know why, you poor little boy
[Chorus]
We are all of walking abortions
Shalom shalom, we all love our children
We all are of walking abortions
Shalom shalom, there are no horizons
[Verse 2]
Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
Horthy's corpse screened to a million
Tiso revived, the horror of a bullfight
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]
We are all of walking abortions
Shalom shalom, we all love our children
We all are of walking abortions
Shalom shalom, there are no horizons
[Outro]
Little people in little houses
Like maggots - small, blind, and worthless
The massacred innocent blood stains us all
Who's responsible? You fucking are
Who's responsible? You fucking are
Who's responsible? You fucking are
Who's responsible? You fucking are
Who's responsible?
