The Harder They Come

Lyrics

Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
 Waiting for me when I die
 But between the day you're born and when you die
 They never seem to hear even your cry
 So as sure as the sun will shine
 I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
 And then the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
 Ooh, the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
 Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
 Trying to drive me underground
 And they think that they have got the battle won
 I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
 'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
 I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
 And then the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
 Ooh, the harder they come
 Harder they fall, one and all
 ♪
 And I keep on fighting for the things I want
 Though I know that when you're dead you can't
 But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
 Than living as a puppet or a slave
 So as sure as the sun will shine
 I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
 And then the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
 Ooh, the harder they come
 Harder they fall, one and all
 Hey, the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
 ♪
 Hey, the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
 Hey, the harder they come
 The harder they fall, one and all
