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

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

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"

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

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

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

So I keep on fighting
