This Sad Burlesque - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet
I write in hopes by the time you get this letter
We may live to see a change for the better
Or are we so devoted
To these wretched selfish motives
When the cold facts and figures all add up
They cannot contradict this sad burlesque
This sad burlesque
With miserable failures making
Entertainment of our fate

Laughter cannot dignify of elevate
This sad burlesque
Now can they recall being young and idealistic
Before wading knee-deep in hogwash and arithmetic
The pitying smirk
The argument then runs like clockwork
Will run down

Eventually and splutter to a stop

P S Well by now you know the worst of it
And we've heard all the alibis
That they've rehearsed
The smug predictions
If it's not a contradiction
Be have they faith human nature
And have mercy on the creatures
In this sad burlesque
This sad burlesque
With miserable failures making
Entertainment of our fate

Laughter cannot dignify of elevate
This sad burlesque
