The Backlash Blues

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash\nJust who do think I am You raise my taxes, freeze my wages\nAnd send my son to Vietnam\nYou give me second class houses\nAnd second class schools\nDo you think that alla colored folks\nAre just second class fools\nMr. Backlash, I’m gonna leave you\nWith the backlash blues\nWhen I try to find a job\nTo earn a little cash\nAll you got to offer\nIs your mean old white backlash\nBut the world is big\nBig and bright and round\nAnd it’s full of folks like me Who are black, yellow, beige and brown\nMr. Backlash, I’m gonna leave you\nWith the backlash blues\nMr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash\nJust what do you think I got to lose\nI’m gonna leave you\nWith the backlash blues\nYou’re the one will have the blues\nNot me, just wait and see
