Pet Shop Boys Song: Twentieth Century -- Going out for the U.S. Congress

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.
