The Harder They Come (From The Original BBC Series "This Town")

Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waitin' for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

They never even seem to hear your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine (ooh)

Gonna get my share now, what's 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

Well, the oppressors tryna keep me down (ooh)

Tryna drive me underground

And they think that they have got the battle won (ooh)

I say forgive them, Lord, they know not what they've done

But as sure as the sun will shine (ooh)

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine (ooh)

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

I said the harder they come

Harder they fall, one and all

Eh-eh

And I keep on fightin' for the things that I want

'Cause I know that when you're dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Than livin' as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine (ooh)

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine (ooh)

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

Harder they fall, one and all

The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

I know the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

So I keep on fightin'
