The Harder They Come Songtext / Lyric

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 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 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

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
