(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
