BACKLASH BLUES
(Langston Hughes / Nina Simone)
Nina Simone


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

    .....who ever called her strange.......all genius's are 'strange' - thats what makes them special,....its not a bad thing its a very very GOOD thing - without people like this we would be exactly the same. A boring bunch of sheep (not that there is anything wrong with sheep) but you all know what I mean :). She has charisma, character, presence - and a fantastic, interesting voice......your a legend Nina & you speak the truth! God Bless you -x-

    Didn't Mick say in an interview in the early 70's that they only had about 5 more years? Maybe that's what she's reffering to?

    Nina Simone had more talent in just one single breath, than any of the current crop of over hyped American Idol types could ever have in their entire careers! Nina was so talented it's just stupid.
