Harder They Come movie - The Harder They Come lyrics

Song by Jimmy Cliff<br /><br>

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky<br>

Waiting for me when I die<br>

But between the day you're born and when you die<br>

They never seem to hear even your cry<br>

<br>

CHORUS:<br>

So as sure as the sun will shine<br>

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

And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all<br>

Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all<br>

<br>

Well the officers are trying to keep me down<br>

Trying to drive me underground<br>

And they think that they have got the battle won<br>

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh<br>

<br>

And I keep on fighting for the things I want<br>

Though I know that when you're dead you can't<br>

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave<br>

Than living as a puppet or a slave<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all<br>

What I say now, what I say now, awww<br>

What I say now, what I say one time<br>

The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all<br>

Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all<br>

<br>
