  • (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 under-ground
    And they think that they have got the battle won
    Oh! 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. (what I say, now what I say)
    The harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all

    (yeah!)

    (yeah!)

    Well I'll keep on fighting for the things I want (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 (it's true)
    Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all
    Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all (what I say, now what I say)
    The harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all

    [instrumental]

    The harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all
    Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all (yes)
    The harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all (what I say)
    The harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all
    Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all (what I say)
    The harder they come, the harder they fall
    One and all
