"The Harder They Come"

Originally by Jimmy Cliff

Well, they tell me there's a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

No one ever seems to hear you cry



But as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

I said, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all



I said the oppressors are trying to keep me down

Trying to drive me underground

But they think they're gonna have the battle won

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done



But as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

I said, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all



Break it down!



Well, I'm gonna try to do the things I want

Cause when you're dead you know that you can't

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, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

I said, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

I said, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

I said, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all
