The Sound of Science
[Verse 1]
Hello subject 3910
We've come to test with you again
Because there are quotas that we aren’t keeping
We'll never meet them if you're left sleeping
And if the Samba themes we beamed into your brain
Still remain
It’s just the sound of science

[Verse 2]
We kept you dreaming peaceful while
We arranged our portal tiles
'Neath our heartless master's watchful eye
You'll cheat death for us to analyze
Or you'll be stabbed by the spikes of a moving wall
That crush your skull
That's just the sound of science

[Verse 3]
And when you reach the exit door
You'll find ten thousand chambers more!
Although we're not sure what the data means
You’ll face acid pits and laser beams!
As machine-guns ring, and turrets sing your name!
As they take aim!
It’s just the sound of science
[Verse 4]
Fire your portal gun in vain
Each catwalk leads back whence you came!
Hear our words and try to understand:
We do what we must because we can!
And when you're bested by our tests and left to fall
As do they all!
You heed the call of science!

[Verse 5]
One by one they bowed and prayed
For the chocolate cake she made!
And should you reach the day your science is done
You’ll assume the 'Party Position'!
And be escorted to the room full of cake, and definitely not full of flames!
But if there's pain
Your screams are just the sounds of science
