Bartleby

Reluctantly
I will do as you ask
Don't expect me to follow your orders with submission

I would prefer not to do it
Not get out of bed
Dedicate myself to contemplation
And to dolce far niente

I fulfilled my duty
As a citizen and husband
I paid my taxes against my will

These are my domains
From this Watchtower
As far as the eye can see
Nothing of what you see is mine

I raised all my children
And gave them education
And at a venerable age
A man needs

The necessary time
To disconnect
Not watch TV anymore
And stop paying attention to current events

I don't want to understand anything
Because nothing is necessary
I don't listen or see
I don't even speak

These are my domains
From this Watchtower
As far as the eye can see
Nothing of what you see is mine

You already know that I eat little
That I live off the air
Don't expect me to follow your orders
With submission

These are my domains
From this Watchtower
As far as the eye can see
Nothing of what you see is mine

Nothing of what you see is mine
Nothing of what you see is mine
Nothing of what you see is mine
