To Be a Free Man
Barney put the coffee on
Cause I'm late for work again
Another day at the office
Wonder what kinda perks I get
I am an MIT alumni ever heard of it?
Sure you did, I got a PHD
But now I’m earning it
Building up my resume at Black Mesa
Employee of the month
They should have a plaque with my name up
I'll hang up my lab jacket
Grab a new hazard suit
Just in case a resonance
Cascade should happen soon
Who ever thought a book-smart geek
Could go so hard
Even acquired a minor degree in crowbars
No joke, Gordon got more balls than a Gonarch
Head Crabs wanna grab my dome
Cause I'm so smart
I’m not one for talking, but I got an arsenal
Forget my doctorate when a gun
Makes any problem solvable i am anomalous
Like a subatomic quantum particle
The odds of starting an apocalypse
Went from none to probable
I'm picking up steam and running amok
Cleaning out the marines who think
That they'll cover this up
I'll paint the wall with their brains
Call that a Black Mesa layoff
When you enter this facility
You know who's laid law
Don't call me crazy I got plenty of Xen
I'll annihilate any Nihilanth who's
Letting them in if I clock any overtime, I
An’t doing it for free, man
At least give me some praise, okay, gee man
What makes your life worth living?
Who’s making your decisions?
Strung up by puppet strings
But no one else can see them
When this dimension crashes
Wake up and smell the ashes
Trapped in a half life with a
Dream to be a free man
I need another coffee
Have I been sleeping on the job?
Doesn't matter this time
I arrived right on the dot
Doctor Breen, what have you done to City 17
Call up a janitor
Cause we got another mess to clean
It only took the alien invasion
All of seven hours to enslave us and then
Make an overcompensating tower
Now I need a team of physicists
To see the resistance through
Cause so far I’ve been solo
Is Alyx single too?
This D0g's bite is bigger than it's bark
I've upgraded from Mark IV to Mark V
Charge up
Now we’ll divide and conquer the Combine
Buckle up buggers
Because you're in for a long ride
Comes another unstoppable force
The source of which is Gordon
I govern gravity
I'll send you soaring to orbit
Back at Black Mesa I
Slaughtered a Vortigaunt heard
But now I work with them
Sorry this is awkward
No bars will hold us, Nova Prospekt
My crowbar is blood-soaked, you got wrecked
Made it through Ravenholm
Somehow I kept my head
What's the story with Father
Grigori? Left for dead
Theoretically speaking
I'm a benevolent being
But with relativity, intent has no meaning
Hands up when you see the lambda
Doesn't matter what your race is
I'm Freeman, G-Man, I'll never stay in stasis
What makes your life worth living?
Who's making your decisions?
Strung up by puppet strings
But no one else can see them
When this dimension crashes
Wake up and smell the ashes
Trapped in a half life with a
Dream to be a free man
I won't let any dimensional freak overwork me
Time to spill his cryptic secrets
Now in verse 3 (static)
