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.
If I were a core
I think I could understand
How it feels to be in power
I 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.
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.
If I were a core
I think I could understand
How it feels to be in power
I 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.
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 would let you back in...
You thought wrong.
But you're just a core...
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 now know that it hurts
When you took over the facility
By taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed.
