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

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