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 for the better
Or are we so devoted these wretched selfish motives
When the cold facts figures all add up
They cannot contradict this sad burlesque

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

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

P.S. Well by 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
faith in human nature
And have mercy on the creatures in this sad burlesque
