Backlash Blues |
| Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash |
| Just who do think I am You raise my taxes, freeze my wages |
| And send my son to Vietnam |
| You give me second class houses |
| And second class schools |
| Do you think that alla colored folks |
| Are just second class fools |
| Mr. Backlash, I’m gonna leave you |
| With the backlash blues |
| When I try to find a job |
| To earn a little cash |
| All you got to offer |
| Is your mean old white backlash |
| But the world is big |
| Big and bright and round |
| And it’s full of folks like me Who are black, yellow, beige and brown |
| Mr. Backlash, I’m gonna leave you |
| With the backlash blues |
| Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash |
| Just what do you think I got to lose |
| I’m gonna leave you |
| With the backlash blues |
| You’re the one will have the blues |
| Not me, just wait and see |
