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

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