Dan Bull - You're Special! lyrics

Following total atomic annihilation
It may fall to you to save the great nation
That's why Vault Tec have
Made extra preparation
And are proud to present
You a special education regarding aptitude
You are an absolutely unique
Amalgamation of attributes
Now it's time to find out in which you excel
What makes you S-P-E-C-IA-L?

You're special, you're special
You're special, oh so special
S-P-E-C-IA-L spells out that
You're quite swell

Strength! Supplies are sparse
So on seeing something sweet
Be sure to scavenge or starve
The stronger you aren't
The smaller the stack of scrap
Storage and snacks that you can
Haul on your back but do be sure to stay
On track of the numbers
Or a savage could suddenly
Strike as you're over-encumbered
And should your special self have
Such a regrettable incident
You'd better get swinging
Any suitable weapon or implement

Perception! Post-nuclear places are
Pretty prearranged
To put you through your paces
Pinpoint the parts of predators
That plan to prey
With the Vault Tec Assisted Targeting System
(Hooray) you may need to pickpocket
Pinching for your own protection
Practicing your pilfering
Purloining to perfection
If your preferential predilection's
Petty theft of peoples' possessions
You'll be protected by perception

You're special, you're special
You're special, oh so special
S-P-E-C-IA-L spells out that
You're quite swell

Endurance! Epidemics are endemic everywhere
Infection, amputation, radiation, never rare
End the negative effects
Refresh your energy by eating everything
Even extra limbs and enemies
Your belly's not ever empty
There's endless entrées
Extend the length of time you exercise
Eons, days, escape encounters with louts
And rowdy hooligans
Or environments ensure you'll eventually
Be food again

Charisma! Communists conquered this
Clean continent and concomitantly
Corruption was the consequence as such
You must be confident and
Cognizant of compliments
Confirming that commercially
You're consummately competent
Convert companions to confidantes
Convincing them to change a cuddly toy
For cutlery and condiments
Swallow down countless cups of cocktails
And charm your way from harm, chum
Combat curtailed

You're special, you're special
You're special, oh so special
S-P-E-C-IA-L spells out that
You're quite swell

Intelligence! Is idiocy inverted
Innate instinct
Take information and interpret it
The inner intuition and initiative
To impliment inventive ideas
To be inquisitive
It is indicative of ingrained imagination
To take an inspiration and
Create an innovation
Insure against injury through investigation
Because ignorance induces incapacitation

Agility! After all the aggro
Antagonists are all too available
There's no ASBOs
Accelerate your acts of accurate aim
And have any angry adversaries aptly aflame
Avoid adverse assaults from automatics
Avert or annul their action with acrobatics
Agility, amazing adaptability
Awesome, what an absolutely ace ability

You're special, you're special
You're special, oh so special
S-P-E-C-IA-L spells out that
You're quite swell

Luck! The lady
That lowers the likelihood of life's
Lotto's loss for the lazy
When you're larking with lice that
Are larger than life
At least you'll have the lethal
Last laugh and the like
The lie of the land's less
Than lavish and lovely
But when looking for loot
You'll locate lots of luxury
Loads of little lowlifes leering
At your luggage?
A lone laddy's liable to let
Them learn what luck is

Congratulations, you've passed the test, yes
From everyone at Vault Tec
Splendid work on your success
Give yourself a pat on the
Back and maybe shake hands
Then preambulate into the haze
Of the wasteland war, war never changes
Look at the history book's torn-up pages
'Cause when the dust settles
After all out war
You'll be glad we taught you what
To deal with fallout for

You're special, you're special
You're special, oh so special
S-P-E-C-IA-L spells out that
You're quite swell (That's you)
You're special, you're special
You're special, oh so special (Yes, you)
S-P-E-C-IA-L spells out that
You're quite swell

Good luck out there
