| 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 |
