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 crySo 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 allWell, 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"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 allOoh, yeah, oh, yeah, woh, yeah, oohAnd 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 slaveSo 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 allYeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
What I say now, what I say now, aww
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
