Pet Shop Boys - Twentieth Century lyrics
[Pet Shop Boys - Twentieth Century 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
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 better
Better 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
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
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 better
Better 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
