Twentieth Century Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

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

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

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
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let′s stay together
