The Clash
4 Horsemen (Bonus Track)
Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in the sun
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue
They told no one where they had begun
Four horsemen
They was given all the foods of vanity
And all the instant promises of immortality
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 lookin' anyhow
You'll never ride that lonely mile
Or put yourself up on trial
(?) all day
So that's the price that you gotta pay
(?) ok
Four horsemen comin' right through
Yeah, the four horsemen comin' right through
Gonna piss by you
Four horsemen comin' right through
They gave us everything for bending the mind
And we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind
(?) long the finish so don't get left behind
Four horsemen
And they gave us the grapes that go ripe in the sun
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue
But they told no one what they had become
Four horsemen
(?)
