The Harder They Come — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day youre born and when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry



So as sure as the sun will shine

Im gonna get my share now of whats mine

And then the harder they come the harder theyll fall,

One and all

Ooh the harder they come the harder theyll fall,

One and all



Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down

Trying to drive me underground

And they think that they have got the battle won

I say forgive them lord, they know not what theyve done



cause as sure as the sun will shine

Im gonna get my share now of whats mine

And then the harder they come the harder theyll fall,

One and all

Ooh the harder they come the harder theyll fall,

One and all



And I keep on fighting for the things I want

Though I know that when youre dead you cant

But Id rather be a free man in my grave

Than living as a puppet or a slave



So as sure as the sun will shine

Im gonna get my share now of whats mine

And then the harder they come the harder theyll fall,

One and all

Ooh the harder they come the harder theyll fall,

One and all
