Học Tiếng Anh Qua Bài Hát Có Phụ Đề: This Sad Burlesque

I write in hopes that by the time you get this letter
We live to see change for the better
Or are we so devoted to these wretched selfish
When the cold facts and figures all add up
They cannot contradict this sad burlesque

This sad burlesque
With failures making entertainment of our fate
cannot dignify of elevate
This sad burlesque

Now can they recall being young and idealistic
Before wading knee-deep in hogwash arithmetic
The pitying smirk
The argument like clockwork
Will run down eventually and splutter to a stop

P.S. Well by now you know the worst it
And we've heard all the alibis that they've rehearsed
The predictions
If it's not a contradiction
faith in human nature
And have mercy on the creatures in this sad burlesque
