Clash - Four Horsemen lyrics

(strummer/jones)<br><br>Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in<br>The sun<br>That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue<br>But they told no one where they had begun-four horsemen<br><br>They were given al lthe foods of vanity<br>And all the instant promises of immortality<br>Buyt they bit the dust screamin' insanity!-four horsemen<br><br>One was over the edge, one was over the cliff<br>One was lickin' em dry with a bloody great spliff<br>When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift<br>From the horsemen<br><br>But you!<br>You're not searching, are you now? <br>You're not looking anyhow<br>You're never gonna ride that lonely mile<br>Or put yourself up on trial<br>Oh, you told me how your life was so bad<br>An' I agree that it does seem sad<br>But that's the price that you gotta pay<br>If you're lazing all around all day<br>Four horsement coming right through<br>Four horsemen and they're pissing by you<br>They make you look like you're wearing a truss<br>Four hosemen and it's gonna be us<br><br>Well they gave useverything for bending the mind<br>And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind<br>It's a long way to the finish so don't get left behind<br>By those horsemen<br><br>And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun<br>That loosen the scews at the back of the tongue<br>But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come<br>Four horsemen
