The Harder They Come

[Verse 1] Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky Waitin' for me when I die Between the day you're born and when you die They never seem to hear even your cry [Chorus] So as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all [Verse 2] Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down Tryin' to drive me underground They think that they have got the battle won I say forgive them, for they know not what they've done [Chorus] But as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all Yeah, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all [Verse 3] And I'll 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 [Chorus] So as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all [Refrain] The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all Yeah!
