Island Music Ltd. - Four Horsemen lyrics

1,2, a 1,2,3,4 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 were given all the foods of vanity And all the instant promises of immortality But 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 didn't want the lift From the horsemen But you, you're not searching, are you, now? You're not lookin' 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 And I agree that it does seem sad But that's the price that you gotta pay For lazin' all around all day Four horsemen an' they comin' right through Four horsemen and they're pissing by you They make you look like you're wearing a truss Four horsemen and it's gonna be us Well they gave us everything for bendin' 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 screws at the back of the tongue But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come Four horsemen We play all your rock and roll We know your rockin' soul We reach the parts other combos cannot reach We reach the beaches other armies cannot reach We've reached the top of the mountain they cannot reach We play all your rock and roll We know your rockin' soul We play your rock and roll We know your rockin' soul
