Joe Strummer – The Harder They Come lyrics
Well they tell me I'm a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day your been and when you die
They never seem to hear or even cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm going to get my share now of whats mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall
One and all

Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive my underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them lord, they know not what they done

Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of whats mine
And the harder they come the harder they fall
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they fall
One and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know when your dead you cant
But id 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 going to get my share now whats mine
And then the harder they come the harder they fall
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they fall
One and all
