A ballad that opens on the fearless leader of the Autobeats captured and under interrogation, considering self-destruction before he’s rescued by his intrepid band of fellow Optimus Rhyme ‘Bots. The track then follows the group’s daring raid and escape back to their base and subsequent post-mission...
[Optimus Prime]
Ever since I released the energy of the matrix
I've had these
Overwhelming feelings
That something's going to happen
Something big
It's starting
[Wheelie Cyberman]
Hey
What's up, it's the Optimus?
Behind enemy lines. Whackacon HQ
Hey. Hey. Hey
Yo, it's 29 hours since the time my cover blew
39 minutes 'til they jack me up with a new
Hard drive
See, they wanna see what I've been through
Training program, where I went and who I talked to
Holdin' my chin to jack in
Sent microscopic elemental rockets
Don't stop it, nothing up to
State the mission:
One: Your target's expendible
Two: No matter how minimal the data, you record it
Three: Never come back, give it askance then go subliminal
- Three A: Win at all costs
- Three B: If the war is lost, fuck it, man, the bots'll multiply
Four: Get by, generate, lie before the General
Five: Minimal output to exist
Six: Don't die
Now you see what I'm up against?
Another 30 minutes just to think of this shit?
Optimus scattered, individual elements
I gotta self destruct, been coded 6 minutes
Penetrated, chill generated, dude, I'm finished
Undercover ops, final moment for symbolic flairs
Nobody knows, so I'm nowhere, nobody cares
Stare down, steel nerves, solid oil stream
15 seconds 'fore my life becomes a dream
Stare down, steel nerves, solid oil stream
15 seconds 'fore my life becomes a dream
[a sampled Autobot and an auto-scout]
Soundwave, send an auto-scout into the crevice!
AUTO-SCOUT ACTIVATED
It is programmed to analyze and report
[Wheelie Cyberman with Powerthighs & Stumblebee]
Starscam snuck up, chuckled, then
I was buckled in, fucked up from the symbiotic truth serum
Held a syringe
Brought it up to my chin
I heard the tick-tock of my countdown clock begin
It went "TEN", then
"What's up, friend?"
Stumblebee! comin' through communicated skin
Said 'We got 7 seconds!'
Yo check it!
Now it will begin
When the fuck Powerthighs gonna step up in?
Dude, I'm in!
2 seconds now
Starscam's down
Look around:
Countdown stuck at 1 second!
Check it!
Reads negative, hydraulics all norm
Yo, let's get outta here!
Wheelie, can you transform!?
Yo, I think so, here it goes (transforming noise)
Let me get what I came here for then hit the road
Go two doors down, smash the Whackacon clones
Grabbed 25 Pu-C-Bots, hit the south [?]
Rode 2000 miles to hit the pipe drive system
Wait a minute!
What is it?
Dude, they're jammin' our transmission!
You know they jammin' our transmission!
I think they jammin' our transmission!
You know they jammin' our transmission!
[?], take us out
[scratching]
Yo, I think we made it out
I think we're in the clear
I think we're safe, now
Let's get the fuck outta here!
Hey, hopped in the hovercraft
Blaze to the base
Dropped off the clones, drove home
Cleaned my face
We were summoned by Imperial queen
She had a case of PBR
Got us all glistening
Decorated us, debated
Copernicus said "Choose:"
From five ribbon silver star Autobeat tattoos
Yo we got inked, got lit, winks and we're out
There's 25 Whackacon Pu-C-Bots
About to be reprogrammed
New alignment: Autobeat
There's five for each of us
Sitting down at our feet
Yo, I broke another mic
Hah hah, ... Psyche
Wheelie, ready to let loose Wheelie skunk all night
So alright (Right!) yeah
We'll be live right there
We don't wanna fight so it's time
To ignite the pink hair
Smokin' outta Stumblebee's prosthetic [?] cells (Ugh)
It kinda smells but it gets the job done, so, oh well
Tell tribal tribunals that we knew where that we were going yeah
Open lungs, muzzle guzzle, Wheelie fo' he blowing gums
Knockin' rockin' parties, yo, it's been a long day
It's the A an' the Optimus
No stoppin' this okay?
It's the A an' the Optimus
No stoppin' this okay?
In-cog-ni-2, no sunshine
Autobeat commando, strap' for battle now
Autobeat commando, strap' with battle lines
