Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky Is waiting for me when I die But between the day you're born and you die They don't even try to hear your cry So as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share of what is mine And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down They're 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 soon as the sun will shine I'll get my share of what is mine And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all And then the harder they come Harder they fall, one and all And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all And then the harder they come Harder they fall, one and all So I keep on fighting for the things I want Though I know that when you're dead you're done But I'd rather be a poor man in my grave Than living as a puppet or a slave So as sure as the sun will shine I'll get my share of what is mine And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all And then the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all
