🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: This Sad Burlesque - Elvis Costello

 I write  hopes that by the time you get this letter
 We may  to see a change for the better
 Or are we so devoted  these wretched selfish motives
 When the cold facts and figures all add 
  cannot contradict this sad burlesque
 
 This  burlesque
 With miserable failures  entertainment of our fate
 Laughter  dignify of elevate
 This sad 
 
 Now can they recall being  and idealistic
 Before wading knee-deep in hogwash and 
  pitying smirk
 The  runs like clockwork
 Will run down eventually and  to a stop
 
 P.S. Well by now you know  worst of it
 And we've heard all the alibis  they've rehearsed
 The smug 
  it's not a contradiction
 Keep faith  human nature
 And have mercy on the creatures in this  burlesque
