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

I write in hopes that by time you get this letter
We may live to see change for the better
Or are we so devoted to these wretched selfish motives
When the cold facts and figures all add up
They contradict this sad burlesque

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

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

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