It Isn’t Nice (animal rights rewrite)

• recording

C Am It isn't nice to block the doorway F G It isn't nice to go to jail C Am There are nicer ways to do it F G But the nice ways always fail C Am It isn't nice, it isn't nice F G You told us once, you told us twice F G But if that is freedom's price C We don't mind It isn't nice to carry banners Or to sit in at the store Or to shout our cry of freedom At the Whole Foods Market Floor 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

We have tried negotiations And the three-man picket lines Mr. Mackey wouldn’t hear us He didn’t even read our signs 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 What about that dog you grew with- Wouldn’t you fight for his life? If instead of cows and fishes, it were he who faced the knife? Would you be quiet as the night, because you’re trying to be nice? Say: if that if 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 It isn't nice, it isn't nice You told us once, you told us twice But thanks for your advice 'Cause if that is freedom's price We don't mind
