Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come lyrics
[Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come lyrics]
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
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
'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
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
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all what I say now
What I say now what I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
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
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
'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
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
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all what I say now
What I say now what I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
