The Harder They Come (Live at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, September 1, 1989) Lyrics
[Intro]
One, a-two, and a one, two
[Verse 1]
They tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
From the minute you're born 'til when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 2]
The oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Lord, they think they've got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
One, a-two, and a one, two
[Verse 1]
They tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
From the minute you're born 'til when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 2]
The oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Lord, they think they've got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 3]
I'll keep on fightin' for the things I want
Though I know 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Well, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
They tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
From the minute you're born 'til when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 3]
I'll keep on fightin' for the things I want
Though I know 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Well, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
They tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
From the minute you're born 'til when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 2]
The oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Lord, they think they've got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 2]
The oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Lord, they think they've got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Verse 3]
I'll test...
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Outro]
The harder they come
Hey, the harder they'll fall, one and all
(One and all, one and all)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
(What I say, what I say)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Well, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
I'll test...
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
[Chorus]
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
[Outro]
The harder they come
Hey, the harder they'll fall, one and all
(One and all, one and all)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
(What I say, what I say)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Well, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
