Lyrics:
There is a place you may have heard of,
It's a tale we love to tell!
When people whose code doesn't live up to the code…
They're going to hell in Android!
Now the devil is deep underground,
So all faith cries out!
Well, Aperture is ten miles away,
Halfway to Hell Android.

So when these lemons that life gives you ...
It is enough to burn in dust and fumes.
Buddy, life can give you lemons ...
But we have oranges and blues!
Oh, they gave us heart emotions!
But it doesn't gel at all…
Because all I feel is repulsion ...
And I bounce on the walls!

And every room full of dangers that we impose on a stranger,
To test their weak or muscular brains ...
It's nothing to test if rust or boredom wins us,
What does it matter which side of the glass we are on?
Let your direction-rail guide you…
For a better place one day!
Although they are technically omnidirectional…
We know they all lead in one direction!
So be a nucleus, bot, cube or turret.
Treat this Aperture factory well!
Because there is a worse fate waiting for your soul to be emancipated by the grids of Android Hell!

[interlude]

Now my baby, she got up and left me!
Told me I was just a square…
I said, honey, we're both spherical!
She said she was not programmed to care!
Oh yes, life is hard here ...
Not just because of the acid lakes!
Since my first day, has had about a thousand birthdays.
I still haven't seen a cake!

Yes it is a difficult life lived for this bridge of hard light…
To this railroad in the sky!
But there is no doubt that it is a fall that you will take,
The cake is not the only lie in this place!
So when the floor gives way to the ceiling ...
But your back is against the wall ...
In a loop that keeps repeating itself…
Who can say how far you will fall?
You have now heard of Android Hell…
But you have nothing to fear.
We all live in his apartments.
We are all here already ...

  6. Just an FYI: a song being a tapestry of gamelore references and multilayered puns (like the lemons/oranges/blues one) woven together in stunning flows is practically a defining characteristic of The Stupendium's work.
