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 |
| They never seem to hear even your cry |
| 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 |
| Ooh the harder they come the harder they’ll fall, one and all |
| Well the officers 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 |
| 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 |
| Ooh the harder they come the harder they’ll fall, one and all |
| ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh |
| 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 of what’s mine |
| And then the harder they come the harder they’ll fall, one and all |
| Ooh the harder they come the harder they’ll fall, one and all |
| Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they’ll fall one and all |
| What I say now, what I say now, awww |
| What I say now, what I say one time |
| The harder they come the harder they’ll fall one and all |
| Ooh the harder they come the harder they’ll fall one and all |
