Oh we learned a lesson from the twentieth century
I dont think we should just dismiss
after a 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 all that 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 we learned a lesson from the twentieth century
and maybe somewhat hit or miss
if you've certainty 'bout the way it's so 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
