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
Y'know, they never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, harder they fall
One and all

And the oppressors are trying to track me down
They're tryin' 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

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Harder they come, harder they fall
One and all

Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho

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

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Yes, the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
