Verse 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 Verse 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 Verse 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 Verse 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 Verse 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, we don't mind
