Lyrics

This song I'm gonna sing about
People all know it's true
If you're black and you got a white livin'
This is what they say to you
If you're white, it's alright
If you're brown, you stick around
But if you're black, oh brother
Get back, get back, get back!
Well, I was in a place one night
They were all havin' fun
Everybody was drinkin' red wine
But they wouldn't sell me one
So if you're white, it's alright
If you're brown, you stick around
But if you're black, oh brother
Get back, get back, get back!
Now I went to the phone office
For a number I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine
If you're white, it's alright
And if you're brown, you stick around
But if you're black, oh brother
Get back, get back, get back!
Me and a man were workin' side by side
And this is what it meant
They paid him a dollar an hour
But they paid me fifty cents
If you're white, it's alright
If you're brown, you stick around
But if you're black, oh brother
Get back, get back, get back!
Now this story I told you about
Believe me, it's true
'Cause blacks and Jews fight for livin'
And that's why I'm tellin' you
If you're white, it's alright
If you're brown, you stick around
But if you're black, oh brother
Get back, get back, get back!
