The Harder They Come (Live at WDR Studio Cologne 14.03.1980)

The Harder They Come - Joe Jackson

Written by：Plummer/Cliff

Tell me of a pie 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 you cry

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

The harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

Well the officers are trying to keep me down

Tryin' 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 of what's mine

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

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

Get my share now of what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all

And the harder they come

The harder they fall

One and all
