But the nice ways always fail.
That little bit is from the first verse of Malvina Reynolds' "It isn't nice",
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.
Seems the Occupying mob aren't being nice because;
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.
Mr. Charlie sees us but wants to ignore us;
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.
Lynchings my be history unless its done by the state (R.I.P. Troy Davis);
How about those years of lynchings And the shot in Evers' back? Did you say it wasn't proper Did you stand out on the track? You were quiet just like mice Now you say we aren't nice But if that is Freedom's price We don't mind.
Bonus message.
