Mr. Backlash 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 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 ol' white backlash

But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it's full of other folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige and brown

Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues

Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
Just what you think I got to lose
I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues

You're the one
Who have the blues
Not me
Just wait and see
