me of a pie up in the sky,
waiting for me when I die.
But between the day you're born
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now,
And then the harder they come,
Ooh, the harder they come
Well, the oppressors are trying
Trying to drag me underground
Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now,
And then the harder they come,
I'll keep on fighting for
Though I know that when you're
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So I sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share right now,
And then the harder they come,
Ooh, the harder they come,
The harder they fall, the harder they fall,
