Langston hughes, nina simone |
|
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 |
