[Verse 1]
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

Let's stay together

Everyone came
To destroy what was wicked

Let's stay together

Together we're better
Better
Better
Better

If you've certainty
'Bout the way it's all meant to be
The lesson that you need is this
[Chorus]
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
Sometimes the solution
Is worse than the problem
Let's stay together
