The Harder They Come

Jimmy Cliff

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 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
Oh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all

Well the officers are trying to keep me down
They try to drive me to the ground
And they think that they have got the battle won
Lord forgive them, they know not what they've done

As soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
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

Oh yeah

I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
Though 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 the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Woah, 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
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
Oh the harder they come the harder they fall one and all
