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

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

This sad burlesque
With miserable failures making of our fate
Laughter dignify of elevate
This sad burlesque

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

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