Backlash Blues
Lyricist:Langston Hughes, Nina Simone
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash Just who do you 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
