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 even your cry.

So as sure as the sun will shine 

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

And the harder they come, the harder they fall

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 the harder they come, the harder they fall

The harder they come, the harder they fall one and all.

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.

So as sure as the sun will shine 

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

And the harder they come, the harder they fall 

The harder they come, the harder they fall one and all.
