Lyrics Jaya the Cat

Jaya the Cat

The Harder They Come

Well, they tell me there's a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, 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 oppressors are trying to keep me down

Trying to drive me underground

But just when they think they've got the battle won

I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

So, as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share what's mine

And then the harder they come, the harder they fall

One and all

You know, the harder they come, the harder they fall

One and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want

Because I know that when you're dead you can't

And I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Than living like a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

The harder they come, harder they fall

One and all

What I say now

What I say

The

One and all

The harder they come, the harder they fall

One and all

Woh-woh-yeah
