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 [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 [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 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
