"Pretty as a Swastika" is the second track from the 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on April 16, 2009, in an update on the band's official website. While the song is given this name on the band's website, online retailers refer to it as "Pretty as a ($)." It is uncertain as of yet if this is how the title is printed on album pressings.
Music details
Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt criticized that "the Stooges-rattle of 'Pretty as a Swastika' beats its chest in a manner all too close to the controlled-chaos thrusts of Antichrist Superstar."[1]

Lyrics
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
I want to smash into your face,
like a plane,
and drown in between your legs
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
I'd die for your sins
if you don't kill me while I'm trying, baby
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way, to make you cry
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
One of us is a knife
One of us is ripe, baby
Let me show you where it hurts
