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

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

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

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

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