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.
Chorus
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.
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.
Chorus
We have tried negotiations
And the three-man picket line,
Mr. Charlie didn't see us
And he might as well be blind.
Chorus
How about those years of lynchings
And they shot in Evers in the back?
Did you say it wasn't proper?
Did you stand upon the track?
Chorus:
You were quiet just like mice,
Now you say we aren't nice,
And if that's 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.
Chorus:
It isn't nice, it isn't nice,
But thanks for your advice,
Cause if that's Freedom's price,
We don't mind.
