They tell me of a pie in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem even to hear you cry

Sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share, I'll get mine
And the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Well, the officers are trying to keep me down
Tryin' to drive me underground
And they think 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, I'll get mine
And the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
And the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

I 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, I’ll get mine
And the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
And the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
And the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
