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
harder they fall
one and all
what i say now
what i say now
what i say now
what i say
one time
the harder they come
the harder they fall
one and all
the harder they come
the harder they fall
one and all
