The Bigger They Come The Harder They Fall Lyrics - Jimmy Cliff

Well they tell me of a pie 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 of what's mine and then 

The bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

Ooh, the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

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 'em Lord they no not what they've done" 

'Cause as sure as the sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my share of what's mine and then 

And then the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

Ooh, the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

And I keep on fighting for the things I want 

Though I know that when you're dead you're 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 

And then the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

Ooh, the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

Hey, the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

Ooh, the bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all 

The bigger they come 

The harder they fall one and all
