[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?
