The Harder They Come (Live)

They tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

From the minute you're born to when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry

And as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share of 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

Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down

Tryin' to drive me underground

Though they think they've got the battle won

I say, "Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they've done"

Well, the harder they come

Harder they'll fall, one and all

And I'll keep on fightin' 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 livin' as a puppet or a slave

And as sure as the sun will shine

And though I'll get my share, what's mine

And then the harder they come

Harder they'll fall, one and all

Well, the harder they come

Harder they'll fall, one and all
