The Lyrics
The AUTOBOT leader OPTIMUS PRIME has called in his troops for a meeting. Most of of the time this is in relation to the latest DECEPTICON plot to steal an oil tanker or flood a town or blow up the moon or something, but this time is a little bit different: why haven't they had to do that for the last six decacycles?
OPTIMUS PRIME:
We've barely even had to work
To defend this human world
And it's quite easy to explain
Seems that this single, random time
That that Starscream has tried
To beat Megatron's not failed
He lacks the temp'rament
To keep all his troops in line
Away he's always flyin'
And so it's not worth tryin'
We, of course, can still lend our help
To humans, but I can tell
That some of you think it's all trite
We should be focused on a trip
To the 'Cons home base to kick
The skidplate of "Lord Starscream"
Well, Prowl, just wait a klik
Relax your logical mind
Though Starscream may be tryin'
On his watch, there's no dyin'
He's really bad at this
So unless he quits, let's try
To heal this Earth we lie in
Lend aid to nations dyin'
Cause Starscream's always flyin'
Away from things real tryin'
We've barely even had to work
Thanks to one impatient jerk
Now we'd better get to work
Doin' more than causin' hurt
We've barely even had to work
To defend this human world
And it's quite easy to explain
Seems that this single, random time
That that Starscream has tried
To beat Megatron's not failed
He lacks the temp'rament
To keep all his troops in line
Away he's always flyin'
And so it's not worth tryin'
We, of course, can still lend our help
To humans, but I can tell
That some of you think it's all trite
We should be focused on a trip
To the 'Cons home base to kick
The skidplate of "Lord Starscream"
Well, Prowl, just wait a klik
Relax your logical mind
Though Starscream may be tryin'
On his watch, there's no dyin'
He's really bad at this
So unless he quits, let's try
To heal this Earth we lie in
Lend aid to nations dyin'
Cause Starscream's always flyin'
Away from things real tryin'
We've barely even had to work
Thanks to one impatient jerk
Now we'd better get to work
Doin' more than causin' hurt
Another trademark OPTIMUS PRIME speech over and done with, the AUTOBOTS head out to do general do-goodery across the globe, maybe with the occasional STARSCREAM punching. But out in space, on their homeworld CYBERTRON, there is one bot with slightly different plans...one by the name of MEGATRON...
