4 CommentsBacklash Blues Lyrics (Langston hughes, Nina simone) missing additional commentary by 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
So did you paint your whole torso read like a crazed football fanatic?
It looks like red paint. You’re in much better shape than me or any of the haters. I can see much cardiovascular improvement from your last dance video.
Nice lightning bolt. Having just watched Pixar’s Bolt twenty or so times with my toddler it reminds me of that.
You do know you aren’t a super hero right? Bolt thought he was a super hero dog. I find it interesting because I think you don’t know too.
Globatron is in the same boat though so no worries. Especially after getting Karen’s answers. I feel super. How about you? Thanks so much Karen.
I wonder about that huge black canvas in the background and what it’s going to evolve into. I love these videos. Please keep them coming. It’s getting me pumped to do a new globatron ditty.
one of the universal themes of super-hero comics is the doubt that the heroes have about what they are doing. although i doubt i am a super-hero, i am not certain either way. I am open to the idea that I might be. I know Globatron is a super-hero to me. Comics happen in an imaginary world. in the real world heroes have pimples and imperfections, point is, there are two kinds of people, those who believe in real life heroes and those who don’t. i am one who has quite a few living and recently living heroes.
akbar
I believe in heroes too Akbar.
Don’t quit believing in real life heroes Akbar. I don’t think any of us should. The world is in crisis and we need as many heroes as we can get.
Globatron is blushing. Thank you.
New round of globatron photos last night show him in domestic bliss.
excellent, excellent, excellent, Mr. Lightning.
