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

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

Laughter cannot dignify of elevate

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

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