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 this      Sometimes the solution   Is worse than the problem   Let's stay together   Sometimes the solution   Is worse than the problem   Let's stay together      Well, 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 well      Sometimes the solution   Is worse than the problem   Let's stay together   Sometimes the solution   Is worse than the problem   Let's stay together      Stay with me   This century   Together we're better      Oh, I learned a lesson from the twentieth century   It may seem somewhat hit or miss   If you've certainty 'bout the way it's all meant to be   The lesson that you need is this      Sometimes the solution   Is worse than the problem   Let's stay together   Sometimes the solution   Is worse than the problem   Let's stay together
