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, 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
|
|
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, 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
|
