How's it feel to be so black?

How's it feel to be so white?

How's it feel to worry about things

And never know who's wrong or right



Looking at things on the other side

Have you got everything or only your pride



CHORUS

Back off brother

Live and let live just like any other

Back off brother

'Cause I don't owe you nothing

And I don't want nothing from you



Preacher man he act so good

Says he don't but I know he would

STick his head up the hole of love

ANd forget all about the Lord above



Looking at things on the other side

Flames of hell gonna burn his hide



CHORUS



Back off

Committe wants to rate my song

Back off

Won't leave well enough alone

Back off

But my time will come and theirs will pass

Back off

Uncle Sam will kiss my ass

Looking at things from the other side

My red wagon is gonna be the ride
