Twentieth Century

Twentieth Century - Pet Shop Boys Lyrics

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

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 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

Sometimes the solution

Is worse than the problem

Let's stay together
