The Android Hell Blues

There's a place you may have heard of
It's a tale we like to tell!
When folks whose code ain't up to code…
…well they go to Android Hell!
Now the devil is found deep underground
So, any faith will yell!
Well Aperture happens to be ten miles down,
Half-way to Android Hell.
So when those lemons that life gives you…
Just combust to dust and fumes.
Buddy, life may give you lemons…
But we got oranges and blues!
Oh they gave us cores emotions!
But that doesn't gel at all…
Because all I feel's repulsion…
And I'm bouncing off the walls!
And each chamber full of dangers that we force upon a stranger,
To test their feeble brains or brawn
Is nothing to the test if whether rust or boredom gets us,
What's it matter what side of the glass we're on?
So may your management-rail guide you…
To a better place some day!
Although technically they're omni-directional…
We know they all just lead one way!
So be you core, bot, cube or turret.
Treat this Aperture factory well!
‘cos there's a worse fate awaitin' as your soul's emancipated by the grills of Android Hell!
Now my baby, she up and left me!
Told me I was just a square…
I said, darlin' we're both spherical!
She said she wasn’t programmed to care!
Oh yes, the life down here's a hard one…
Not just because of acid-lakes!
Since my first day, had about a thousand birthdays.
I still ain't seen no cake!
Yes it's a hard life lived for that hard-light bridge…
To that rail-track in the sky!
But there's no mistaking, it's a fall you will be taking,
Cake is not this place's only lie!
So when the floor gives way to ceiling…
But your back is against the wall...
In a loop that keeps repeating…
Who can say how far you'll fall?
Now you've heard tell of Android Hell…
But you've got naught to fear.
We all live in her chambers.
We're all already here.
