Songtext Four horsemen The Clash

Four horsemen

(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 didnt want the lift
From the horsemen

But you!
Youre not searching, are you now?
Youre not looking anyhow
Youre 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 thats the price that you gotta pay
If youre lazing all around all day
Four horsement coming right through
Four horsemen and theyre pissing by you
They make you look like youre wearing a truss
Four hosemen and its gonna be us

Well they gave useverything for bending the mind
And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank em blind
Its a long way to the finish so dont 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
