The Harder They Come

Verse 1
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

Refrain
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

Verse 2
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

Refrain
´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

Verse 3
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

Refrain
So as sure as the sun will shine
I´m gonna get my share right 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
