The Harder They Come Well, they tell me of a pie in the sky Waiting for me when I dieBut, between the day you're born and when you die They never even seem to hear 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 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"' Cause 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 And the harder they come The harder they'll fall, one and all I keep on fighting for the things I wantThough 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 And the harder they come The harder they'll fall, one and all And the harder they come The harder they'll fall, one and all
