‘The Harder They come’ was a ‘cult classic’ quoted by most critics, from the 1972 film, The Harder They Come and covers from Jimmy Cliff’s song, “The Harder They Come”. Madness developed Cliff’s song into a Reggae song.
“The Harder They Come” was released in the Madstock! album by the band Madness...
Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day your born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Well the opus' are trying to keep me down
Trying to drag me under-ground
And they think that they have got the battle won
OH! I say forgive them lord the do not what they've done
So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all. (What I say, now what I say)
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
(Yeah!)
(Yeah!)
Well I'll keep on fighting for the things I want. (For the things I want.)
Though I know that when you dead you gone
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Then living as a puppet or a slave
So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all. (It's true)
Oh! The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Oh! The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all. (What I say, now what I say)
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Oh! The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all. (Yes.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all. (What I say.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Oh! The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all. (What I say.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The Harder They Come was written by Jimmy Cliff.
