If I Were A Core Lyrics

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 build the tests as I go
but I'd get banished into deep s***e
with a core who is completely obsessed
with s***e.

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.
