The Harder They Come

[Verse 1]
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waitin' for me when I die
Between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

[Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all

[Verse 2]
Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down
Tryin' to drive me underground
They think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them, for they know not what they've done

[Chorus]
But as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Yeah, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all

[Refrain]
The harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all
Yeah!
