🎵 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  the better
 Or are we  devoted to these wretched selfish motives
 When the cold  and figures all add up
 They cannot contradict this sad 
 
 This  burlesque
 With miserable failures  entertainment of our fate
 Laughter cannot dignify of 
  sad burlesque
 
 Now can they recall being young  idealistic
 Before wading knee-deep in  and arithmetic
 The pitying 
 The argument  like clockwork
 Will run down eventually and splutter  a stop
 
 P.S. Well by now you know the worst  it
 And we've  all the alibis that they've rehearsed
  smug predictions
 If it's  a contradiction
 Keep faith in human 
  have mercy on the creatures in this sad burlesque
