Me First and The Gimme Gimmes - The Harder They Come Lyrics

(Originally by Jimmy Cliff)

Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day your born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Well the opus' are trying to keep me down
Trying to drag me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them lord the do not what they've done

So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Well I'll keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you dead you gone
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Then living as a puppet or a slave

So as soon as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my shine out what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
