Song language: English
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 is Freedom’s price |
| We don’t mind |
| It isn’t nice to carry banners |
| Or to sit in on the floor |
| Or to shout our cry of Freedom |
| At the hotel and the store |
| It isn’t nice, it isn’t nice |
| You told us once, you told us twice |
| But if that is Freedom’s price |
| We don’t mind |
| We have tried negotiations |
| And the three-man picket line |
| Mr. Charlie didn’t see us |
| And he might as well be blind |
| Now our new ways aren’t nice |
| When we deal with men of ice |
| But if that is Freedom’s price |
| We don’t mind |
| How about those years of lynchings |
| And the shot in Evers' back? |
| Did you say it wasn’t proper |
| Did you stand upon the track? |
| You were quiet just like mice |
| Now you say we aren’t nice |
| And if that is Freedom’s price |
| We don’t mind |
| 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 |
| But thanks for your advice |
| Cause if that is Freedom’s price |
| We don’t mind |
