Four Horsemen Lyrics - London Calling - The Clash

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 

Photos 

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
