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!
