Текст песни It Isn't Nice - The Chambers Brothers , 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's freedom's price (But if that's freedom's price)
We don't mind, Oh-o-o-o-oh, Oh-oh (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
We don't mind (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
Oh, no, no, no, we don't mind (We don't mind)

It isn't nice to dump the groceries
Or to sleep in on the floor
Or to shoutout cry of freedom
In the hotel or the store
It isn't nice; it isn't nice
You told us once, you told us twice

Well, if that's freedom's price (Well, if that's freedom's price)
We don't mind, Oh-o-o-o-oh, Oh-oh (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
We don't mind (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
Oh, no, no, we don't mind (We don't mind)

Yeah, we tried negotiation
And the token picket line
Mister Charlie didn't see us
And he might as well have been blind
When you deal with men of ice
You can't deal with ways so nice

Well, if that's freedom's price (Well, if that's freedom's price)
We don't mind, Oh-o-o-o-oh, Oh-oh (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
We don't mind (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
Oh, no, no, no, we don't mind (We don't mind)

They murdered folks in Alabama
They shot Medger in the back
Did you say that wasn't proper?
Did you stand out on the track?
You are quiet, just like mice
Now you say that we're not nice

Well, if that's freedom's price (Well, if that's freedom's price)
We don't mind, Oh-o-o-o-oh, Oh-oh (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
We don't mind (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
Oh, no, no, no, we don't mind (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
You told us once, you told us twice
But thank you, buddy, for your advice

But if that's freedom's price (If that's freedom's price)
We don't mind, Oh-o-o-o-o-o-oh, Oh-o-o-oh (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
We don't mind (We don't mind. We don't mind. We don't mind)
Oh no, we don't mind (We don't mind)
