Lyrics It Isn't Nice - Barbara Dane
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,
1
Mr.
Charlie2
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.
