It Isn't Nice |
It isn’t nice to block the doorway |
It isn’t nice to go to jail |
There are nicer ways to do it |
But the nice ways always fail |
It isn’t nice, it isn’t nice |
You told us once, you told us twice |
But if that’s freedom’s price |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
It isn’t nice to block the doorway |
Or to sleep in on the floor |
Or to shout our cry of freedom |
At the hotel or the store |
It isn’t nice, it isn’t nice |
You told us once, you told us twice |
But if that’s freedom’s price |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
Now we tried negotiations |
And the token picket line |
Mr. Charlie didn’t see us |
And he might as well be blind |
When you deal with men of ice |
You can’t deal with ways so nice |
But if that’s freedom’s price |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
They murdered boys in Mississippi |
They shot Medgar in the back |
Did you say that wasn’t proper? |
Did you stand out on the track? |
You were quiet just like mice |
Now you say that we’re not nice |
But if that’s freedom’s price |
We don’t mind |
Sing it out |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
It isn’t nice to block the doorway |
It isn’t nice to go to jail |
There are nicer ways to do it |
But the nice ways always fail |
It isn’t nice, it isn’t nice |
You told us once, you told us twice |
Well, thank you, buddy, for your advice |
But if that’s freedom’s price |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
We don’t mind |
No, no, no |
We don’t mind |
