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 you when you 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 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†And 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 And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all Ooh, the harder they come Harder they fall, one and all 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 'Cause 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 Ooh, the harder they come Harder they fall, one and all
