The Harder They Come Lyrics

(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



CHORUS:

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 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



CHORUS



ooh yeah oh yeah woh 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



CHORUS



Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all

What I say now, what I say now, awww

What I say now, what I say one time

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
