Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky Waitin' for me when I die Between the day you're born and when you die They never seem to hear it in 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'll fall One and all Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall One and all Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down Trying to drive me underground They think that they have got the battle won Say forgive them for they know not what they've done For as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now what's mine And then the harder they come, harder they'll fall One and all Yeah, the harder they come, harder they'll 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 then the harder they come, harder they'll fall One and all And then the harder they come, harder they'll fall One and all Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall One and all Yeah
