Oh, I learned a lesson from the twentieth century
That I don't think we can just dismiss
After one hundred years of inhumanity
The lesson that I learned was thisSometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay togetherWell, I bought a ticket to the revolution
And I cheered when the statues fell
Everyone came to destroy what was wicked
But they killed off what was good as wellSometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay togetherStay with me
This century
Together we're betterOh, I learned a lesson from the twentieth century

If you've certainty 'bout the way it's all meant to be
The lesson that you need is thisSometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
