The Harder They Come
[Intro]
Woah ho ho ho
Woah ho ho ho
[Verse 1]
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waitin' for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
You know they never seem to hear even your cry
[Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, harder they fall
One and all
[Verse 2]
And the oppressors are tryin' to track me down
They're 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
[Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Harder they come, harder they fall
One and all
[Bridge]
Woah ho ho ho
Woah ho ho ho
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And I'll 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
[Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
Harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all (Say it one and all, say it one and, say it one and all)
Yes, the harder they come, harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come, harder they fall
One and all (Say it one and, one and all, say it one and)
Harder they come, harder they fall
One and all (Woah ho)
