Twentieth Century

Oh, I learned a lesson

From the twentieth century

I don't think we should 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



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



Stay with me this century

Together we're better



Oh, I learned a lesson

From the twentieth century

It may be 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
