Lyrics The Harder They Come (Short Version) - Jimmy Cliff
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
So
as
sure
as
the
sun
will
shine
I'm
gonna
get
my
share
now
of
what's
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
me
underground
And
they
think
that
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
now
of
what's
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
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
So
as
sure
as
the
sun
will
shine
I'm
gonna
get
my
share
now
of
what's
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
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
So
as
sure
as
the
sun
will
shine
I'm
gonna
get
my
share
now
of
what's
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

And

One
and
