Ooh, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
But between the day you're born and when you die
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
Hey, 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, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
I'm gonna get my share right now, what's mine
Then living as a puppet or a slave
Hey, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Oh yeah yeah, well, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for me when I die
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
So as sure as the sun will shine
But I'll keep on fighting for the things I want
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And they think that they have got the battle won
Tryin' to drive me underground
Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down
They never seem to hear even your cry
Ooh, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
So as sure as the sun will shine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
