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

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

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

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

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