Clash - Four Horsemen Lyrics
(strummer/jones)Well they were given the grapes that go ripe inThe sunThat loosen the screws at the back of the tongueBut they told no one where they had begun-four horsemenThey were given al lthe foods of vanityAnd all the instant promises of immortalityBuyt they bit the dust screamin insanity!-four horsemenOne was over the edge, one was over the cliffOne was lickin em dry with a bloody great spliffWhen they picked up the hiker he didnt want the liftFrom the horsemenBut you!Youre not searching, are you now?Youre not looking anyhowYoure never gonna ride that lonely mileOr put yourself up on trialOh, you told me how your life was so badAn I agree that it does seem sadBut thats the price that you gotta payIf youre lazing all around all dayFour horsement coming right throughFour horsemen and theyre pissing by youThey make you look like youre wearing a trussFour hosemen and its gonna be usWell they gave useverything for bending the mindAnd we cleaned out their pockets and we drank em blindIts a long way to the finish so dont get left behindBy those horsemenAnd they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sunThat loosen the scews at the back of the tongueBut we still told nothing bout what was to comeFour horsemen
