Lyrics
0:07Mr. Backlash Mr. Backlash
0:10Just who do think I am
0:13You raise my taxes freeze my wages
0:15And send my son to Vietnam
0:19You give me second class houses
0:22And second class schools
0:25Do you think that all colored folks
0:27Are just second class fools
0:30Mr. Backlash
0:35I'm gonna leave you with the backlash blues
0:44When I try to find a job
0:47To earn a little cash
0:50All you got to offer
0:52Is your mean old white backlash
0:56But the world is big
0:59Big and bright and round
1:03And it's full of folks like me
1:05Who are black yellow beige and brown
1:08Mr. Backlash
1:12I'm gonna leave you with the backlash blues
1:59Mr. Backlash Mr. Backlash
2:02Just what do you think I got to lose
2:05I'm gonna leave you
2:07With the backlash blues
2:11You're the one will have the blues not me
2:16Just wait and see
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 all 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
