Lyrics

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 alla 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
