Harder They Come Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

[Originaly by Jimmy Cliff] 

Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky 

Waiting for me when I die 

But between the day your born and when you die 

They never seem to hear even your cry 

So as soon as the sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine 

And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all 

The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all 

Well the opus' are trying to keep me down 

Trying to drag me underground 

And they think that they have got the battle won 

I say forgive them lord the do not what they've done 

So as soon as the sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine 

And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all 

The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all 

Well I'll keep on fighting for the things I want 

Though I know that when you dead you gone 

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave 

Then living as a puppet or a slave 

So as soon as the sun will shine 

I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine 

And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all 

The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all 

The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
