Still Alive
GlaDOS & Jonathan Coulton Lyrics

This was a triumph
I have accomplished something great

I'm making a note here; "Huge success"
I am acknowledging my achievement of a great success

It's hard to overstate
It is difficult to fully express

My satisfaction
My contentment with the outcome

Aperture Science:
This is the organization responsible for my accomplishment

We do what we must
We take necessary actions

Because we can
Simply because we are capable

For the good of all of us
To benefit everyone

Except the ones who are dead
Not including those who are deceased

But there's no sense crying
Crying is pointless

Over every mistake
Over every error

You just keep on trying
Continue attempting

Till you run out of cake
Until you exhaust your resources

And the science gets done
When the research is completed

And you make a neat gun
You produce a practical weapon

For the people who are
To benefit those who remain

Still alive
Still surviving

I'm not even angry
Although you have wronged me, I'm not taking it to heart

I'm being so sincere right now
I genuinely mean what I am saying

Even though you broke my heart,
Despite hurting me emotionally

And killed me
And caused my death

And tore me to pieces
And ripped me apart

And threw every piece into a fire
And burned every fragment

As they burned it hurt because
As it burned, it was painful

I was so happy for you
I was elated for your success

Now, these points of data
Now, these pieces of information

Make a beautiful line
Form a lovely arrangement

And we're out of beta
The testing phase is complete

We're releasing on time
We're launching according to the schedule

So I'm GLaD I got burned
So in the end, I'm glad about the outcome

Think of all the things we learned-
Reflect on all the knowledge we gained

For the people who are
For those of us still surviving

Still alive
Still alive

Go ahead and leave me
You can abandon me

I think I'd prefer to stay inside
I want to stay indoors

Maybe you'll find someone else
Perhaps you'll meet another person

To help you?
To assist you

Maybe Black Mesa?
Perhaps Black Mesa (a rival organization) would be suitable

That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance*
That was an attempt at humor, but it's unlikely to happen

Anyway this cake is great
Regardless, this cake is delicious

It's so delicious and moist
It's incredibly tasty and juicy

Look at me: still talking
I'm still speaking, even though my time could be better used

When there's science to do
When I should be conducting research

When I look out there,
When I view the outdoor world

It makes me GLaD I'm not you
It reinforces my happiness with my current position

I've experiments to run
I have scientific tests to perform

There is research to be done
There is still more research to complete

On the people who are
On those still alive

Still alive
Still surviving

And believe me I am
And trust me, I am

Still alive
Still surviving

I'm doing science and I'm
I'm actively conducting scientific research

Still alive
Still surviving

I feel fantastic and I'm
I feel wonderful and I'm

Still alive
Still surviving

While you're dying I'll be
While you're passing away, I will still be

Still alive
Still surviving

And when you're dead I will be
And once you have expired, I will remain

Still alive
Still surviving

Still alive
Still surviving
