Clash The Four Horsemen Lyrics

Four Horsemen Lyrics

(strummer/jones)

 

 Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in

 The sun

 That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue

 But they told no one where they had begun-four horsemen

 

 They were given al lthe foods of vanity

 And all the instant promises of immortality

 Buyt they bit the dust screamin' insanity!-four horsemen

 

 One was over the edge, one was over the cliff

 One was lickin' em dry with a bloody great spliff

 When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift

 From the horsemen

 

 But you!

 You're not searching, are you now?

 You're not looking anyhow

 You're never gonna ride that lonely mile

 Or put yourself up on trial

 Oh, you told me how your life was so bad

 An' i agree that it does seem sad

 But that's the price that you gotta pay

 If you're lazing all around all day

 Four horsement coming right through

 Four horsemen and they're pissing by you

 They make you look like you're wearing a truss

 Four hosemen and it's gonna be us

 

 Well they gave useverything for bending the mind

 And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind

 It's a long way to the finish so don't get left behind

 By those horsemen

 

 And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun

 That loosen the scews at the back of the tongue

 But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come

 Four horsemen
