The Harder They Come

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

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'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they'll 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'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they'll fall, one and all

Hey
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

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'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they'll fall, one and all

Hey, the harder they come
Harder they'll fall, one and all
What I say now, what I say now
Oh
What I say now, what I say, one time
The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
