[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together

[Bridge]
Stay with me
This century
Together we're better
Better
Better
Better

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
