Nina Simone - Backlash Blues(2006)

[00:06.72] Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
[00:10.03] Just who do you think I am?
[00:12.89] You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
[00:15.67] And send my son to Vietnam
[00:19.15] You give me second class houses
[00:22.24] And second class schools
[00:25.32] Do you think that all colored folks
[00:27.76] Are just second class fools?
[00:30.20] Oh, Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
[00:36.29] With the backlash blues
[00:43.97] When I try to find a job
[00:46.99] To earn a little cash
[00:50.34] All you got to offer
[00:52.59] Is your mean old white backlash
[00:56.13] But the world is big
[00:59.46] Big and bright and round
[01:02.66] And it's full of folks like me
[01:05.12] Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
[01:08.36] Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
[01:13.65] With the backlash blues
[01:20.77]
[01:58.94] Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
[02:01.99] Just what do you think I got to lose?
[02:05.65] I'm gonna leave you
[02:07.39] With the backlash blues
[02:11.02] You're the one who'll have the blues
[02:13.94] Not me, just wait and see
[02:24.58]
