The harder they come

The Harder They Come - Jimmy Cliff

Written by：Jimmy Cliff

Oh yeah

But oh yeah oh yeah

Alright

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

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

Harder they fall

One and all

Well the oppressors 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

'Cause 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

Harder they fall

One and all

Oh yeah

Well oh yeah oh yeah

Oh yeah

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

So as sure as the sun

Will shine I'm gonna get my share right now

What's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

Ooh the harder they come

Harder they fall

One and all

The harder they come

Harder they fall

One and all

The harder they come

Harder they fall

One and all
