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 a change for the
Or are we so devoted to these wretched selfish motives
When the cold facts and figures all add

Before wading knee-deep in hogwash and arithmetic
The smirk
The argument runs like clockwork
Will run down and splutter to a stop

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
