Lyrics

[00:07.17] Mr. backlash, mr. backlash
[00:10.17] Just who do think I am
[00:13.10] You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
[00:15.97] And send my son to vietnam
[00:19.73] You give me second class houses
[00:22.60] And second class schools
[00:25.92] Do you think that alla colored folks
[00:29.17] Are just second class fools
[00:30.85] Mr. backlash, Im gonna leave you
[00:36.54] With the backlash blues
[00:44.17] When I try to find a job
[00:47.11] To earn a little cash
[00:50.29] All you got to offer
[00:52.72] Is your mean old white backlash
[00:56.67] But the world is big
[00:59.73] Big and bright and round
[01:02.92] And its full of folks like me
[01:05.41] Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
[01:08.47] Mr. backlash, Im gonna leave you
[01:14.04] With the backlash blues
[01:59.05] Mr. backlash, mr. backlash
[02:02.11] Just what do you think I got to lose
[02:05.41] Im gonna leave you
[02:07.30] With the backlash blues
[02:11.23] Youre the one will have the blues
[02:13.92] Not me, just wait and see
