Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
[Verse 2]
Well, the oppressor's 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"
[Chorus]
But as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
I say the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
[Bridge]
And I keep on fighting for the things that I want
'Cause 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
[Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
I know the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
[Outro]
So I keep on fighting
