Well they tell me There's a pie in the sky Waiting for me when I die But between the day You're born and when you die Oh Lord, they never Seem to hear even your cry And as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share of what's mine And then Chorus: The harder they come The harder they fall One and all Oh the harder they come The harder they fall Well the oppressors are trying To get me down, trying to drive me Under the ground, and they think That they have got their battle won I say: "forgive 'em Lord They no not what they've done" And as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share of what's mine And then (chorus) And I keep on fighting for The things I want, though I know That when you're dead, man you're gone But I'd rather be a free man in my grave Oh, than living like a puppet or a slave And as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share of what's mine And then (chorus)
