The Harder They Come Lyrics - 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 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 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 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 woah 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
