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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] them with mashy-spike-plates.
I'd put myself first...
..and build the tests as I go...
... but I'd get banished into deep space...
... with a core who [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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.
(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.
