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

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