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

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