Twentieth Century

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 --- Twentieth Century - Pet Shop Boys
