Wyatt Scott's back in the saddle with Four Horsemen by The Clash!

Many things have been written concerning the meaning(s) behind this epic tune. My take; Complete Control part II, telling of their mission to enlighten the populace and the many tantalizing offers of the suits to lower their guard and sell out. But you don't fuck with the Four Horsemen! My Boys! It's 2018 and my favorite band is still making the majority of musicians look like their wearing a truss.

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 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 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’s so bad
An' I agree that it does seem sad
But that's the price that you gotta pay, for lazing all around all day
Four horsemen and they’re coming right through
Four horsemen and they're pissing by you
Make you look like you're wearing a truss
Four horsemen and it's gonna be us

Well they gave us everything 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
Hey! 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

So we claim only rock n’ roll, we know your rockin’ soul
We reach the parts, oh the cumbers cannot reach
We beach the beachheads of the armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues of the mouths, that cannot speak
So we claim only rock and roll, we know your rockin’ soul
We claim your rock n’ roll, we know your rockin’ soul
