Abulia and Akrasia Lyrics
[Spoken Word]
These are my demands
I renounce wholeheartedly
In this extreme abjuration
That which I repudiate so vehemently
Adamantly unrepentant
Implacable and intractable
I abdicate with inexorable pleasantry
In this solemn refutation
This most earnest repudiation
I shall not negate
That which I state irrevocably
But I do it so gently
That you cannot resent me
For this humble request of my company
So with time left permitting
And while we're still sitting
May I please have another cup of tea?
These are my demands
I renounce wholeheartedly
In this extreme abjuration
That which I repudiate so vehemently
Adamantly unrepentant
Implacable and intractable
I abdicate with inexorable pleasantry
In this solemn refutation
This most earnest repudiation
I shall not negate
That which I state irrevocably
But I do it so gently
That you cannot resent me
For this humble request of my company
So with time left permitting
And while we're still sitting
May I please have another cup of tea?
A version that's a little easier to parse:
I renounce wholeheartedly in this extreme oath of renunciation that which I reject so strongly uncompromisingly unrepentant unforgiving and stubborn I renounce with unwavering politeness in this solemn refutation this most earnest rejection I shall not invalidate that which I state irreversibly but I state it so gently that you cannot resent me for this humble request of my company so with time left permitting and while we're still sitting may I please have another cup of tea?
