If I Were A Core

[Verse 1]
If I were a core...
even just for a day.
I'd roll out of "sleep-mode" in the morning...
and slide along my management rail.
Wake Chell from her sleep.
And chase after birds.
I'd go wherever I wanted...
if a test-subject was carrying me...
because they trusted me.

[Chorus]
If I were a core...
I think I could understand...
how it feels to be in power...
I'd swear I'd be a better core.
I'd listen to her...
because I'd know how it hurts...
when you take over the facility...
by taking her for granted...
and everything she has gets destroyed.

[Verse 2]
If I were a core...
I would test with the bots...
and try to kill Chell and PotatOS...
by crushing them with mashy-spike-plates.
I'd put myself first...
and built the tests as I go...
but I'd get banished into deep space...
with a core who is completely obsessed...
with SPACE.

[Chorus]
If I were a core...
I think I could understand...
how it feels to be in power...
I'd swear I'd be a better core.
I'd listen to her...
because I'd know how it hurts...
when you take over the facility...
by taking her for granted...
and everything she has gets destroyed.

[Bridge]
It's a little too late for you to come back.
Say it's just a mistake?
Think she'd forgive you like that?
If you thought she will let you come back in...
you thought wrong.

[Outro]
But you're just a core...
you don't understand.
(You don't understand.)
how it feels to be in power...
someday you'll wish you were a better core.
You don't listen to her...
you don't know that it hurts...
when you took over the facility...
by taking her for granted...
and everything you had got destroyed.
