rate me

Langston hughes, nina simone<br><br>Mr. backlash, mr. backlash<br>Just who do think I am<br>You raise my taxes, freeze my wages<br>And send my son to vietnam<br><br>You give me second class houses<br>And second class schools<br>Do you think that alla colored folks<br>Are just second class fools<br>Mr. backlash, I'm gonna leave you<br>With the backlash blues<br><br>When I try to find a job<br>To earn a little cash<br>All you got to offer<br>Is your mean old white backlash<br>But the world is big<br>Big and bright and round<br>And it's full of folks like me<br>Who are black, yellow, beige and brown<br>Mr. backlash, I'm gonna leave you<br>With the backlash blues<br><br>Mr. backlash, mr. backlash<br>Just what do you think I got to lose<br>I'm gonna leave you<br>With the backlash blues<br>You're the one will have the blues<br>Not me, just wait and see
