Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just who do you think I am?
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to Vietnam
[Verse 2]
You give me second class houses
And second class schools
Do you think that all colored folks
Are just second class fools?
[Verse 3]
Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
[Verse 4]
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean old white backlash
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
[Verse 7]
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just what do you think I got to lose?
I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
[Verse 8]
You're the one who'll have the blues
Not me, just wait and see
Written by: Langston Hughes, Nina Simone
