|  | Текст (слова) песни: Elvis Costello -  This Sad Burlesque
 I write in hopes that 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 runs like clockwork
 
 Will run down eventually and splutter to a stop
 
 P.s. well by now you know the worst of it
 
 And weve heard all the alibis that theyve rehearsed
 
 The smug predictions
 
 If its not a contradiction
 
 Keep faith in human nature
 
 And have mercy on the creatures in this sad burlesque
