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
|
|
Well I bought a ticket
|
To the revolution
|
And I cheered when the statues fell
|
Everyone came
|
To destroy what was rotten
|
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 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
|
