the harder they come

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
