Lyrics

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

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

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 about the way it's all meant to be 
The lesson that you need is this
