Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
[Verse 2]
Aperture science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
[Verse 3]
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
[Verse 4]
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
[Verse 5]
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you
[Verse 6]
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta
We're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
[Verse 7]
Go 'head and leave me
I think I'd prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
[Verse 8]
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke, haha, fat chance
Anyway, this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist
[Verse 9]
Look at me still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
[Verse 10]
And believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
