Willie Nelson - The Harder They Come lyrics

[Verse 1] Well they tell me of 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 [Chorus] Because as sure as the sun will shine I'm going to get my share now of what's mine 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] 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 they've done [Chorus] [Verse 3] And I keep on fighting for the things I want Though I know that 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 [Chorus]
