I was always one to go far
you know me by my signature crowbar
I was the one who flipped the switch
while my boss mista g-man was gettin rich
it wasn't easy to see my world crumble around me
and the soldiers tried to drown me whenever they found me
gotta be on my toes for the headcrab threat
and the zombies and the other critters out for my death
you've seen me in the box at fry's
bargain priced in the bin at best buy
I'm the hero of two multi-planinum games
but you probably don't even know my name
but, (you, know, me)
I'm the man with the HEV
I'm the gent with the PHD
in theoretical physics from MIT
chorus
I'm gordon free-man
workin for the g-man
there's always some hater trying to put me down
and if you get in my way, I'll put you six feet underground
gonna fight untill the battle is won
it's time to fight, time to fight, time to
(fight the corrosion)
(x2)
truth is that I'm not to be blamed
cuz I wasn't the one who made,
the resonance cascade
the single most important event that played
a vital role in the enslavement of mankind
by the evil forces of the combine
eventually, I must face this,
but for now I'm in teleport stasis
but as it turns out, and who would have seen
the combine is behind this horrible scheme
- the cascade, was made, by dr. breen
by the sample he selected to put in the beam
and 20 years later I awake from my sleep
to find the combine hearding people like sheep
like a predator preying on the weak
I guess it's time for more carnage from this phd geek
chorus
(sung)
What was once a silver shine
has grown older over time
chrome corroded turns to rust
concrete structures turned to dust
united under leadership
they thought would make them whole
but it turns out dr. breen
was under combine control
and a people that once stood proud
not afraid to speak out loud
under fear and not by choice
they speak in hushed and whispered voice
kept in line by their own guilt
fear the fabric of the quilt
that smothered all of mankind
someone's got to draw the line
chorus
remember the face of alyx vance?
I can remember her wearing diapers for underpants
and from the first thing she said, i could see it comin'
a relationship with this beautiful young woman
but no time for that now - gotta wear my HEV
rechargable armor - pure poetry
so I open up the door and what do I find?
a headcrab that belongs to dr. klein
and as I start yelling "get it off! get it off!"
alyx starts laughing and dr. klein coughs
"it's ok, she's been debeaked"
well, if you told me that earlier, I wouldn't have freaked
and I hop on the platform where they beam people at
they say "it won't be like that time with the cat"
I say "what cat? what do you mean?"
and the blasted head crab jumped into the beam
"AAAAAAAH!!!"
chorus
back to dr. vance's lab, but they didn't even know
I appeared in the alley outside the window
I get ready to head out into the street
but barney drops my crowbar down at my feet
getting hit with the bullets as they fly through the air
my HEV is pumped, so I really don't care
break through a doorway, and go down a stair
civil protection is beating on a woman there
A couple of smacks and the cops are down
but they call in reinforcements from miles around
and pretty soon they start harrassing me
I try to run, but they keep coming after me
oh c***, time to get back
before I get chopped up by the manhacks
cap the sorry evil robots with my glock
I just wish i could hack them like in Bioshock
