Jimmy Cliff
The Harder They Come (Live)
[Verse 1]
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 even your cry
[Pre-Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
[Chorus]
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, onе and all
[Verse 2]
Well, the oppressors arе 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
[Chorus]
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And 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
[Pre-Chorus]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
[Chorus]
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
What I say now
What I say now
[Outro]
What I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
