It Isn't Nice

Lyrics

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)
