Lyrics :
Yeah
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
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, what's mine
And then the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all, yeah
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
They think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
For as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all, yeah
Yeah, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Woo
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
Harder they fall, one and all,
And then the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all, yeah
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all, yeah
