Second Thoughts

Music: "What You Waiting For," (c)2004 by Gwen Stefani

Vocals: Dr. Archeville, just before attempting to sabotage the console in "Countdown to Extinction"

I have betrayed the Earth
And humanity
These robots plan to leave
Not a thing for me

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Starscream's timer's ticking down

All my life I've been scorned by my fellow man
No one appreciates a genius scientist these days
Oh, they all said I was a madman
I should rule the Earth but I can't do it alone
So when I met Decepticons I figured I could make a deal -
I'd help them if they helped me

Oh, but now...

I'm having second, having second, having second, having second, having second thoughts
I'm having second, having second, having second, having second, having second thoughts

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Starscream's timer's ticking down

Hypno-chips were working all according to plan
But they built a controller of their own on Cybertron
Megatron had double-crossed me
Made use of my invention, left the humans to die
When Starscream came to get me what was I supposed to do? (I thought)
Here's the chance I'm looking for (uh-huh)

No, oh no...

Despite my intention
He took my greatest invention
My exponential generator
Connected to a detonator

I'm having second, having second, having second, having second, having second thoughts
I'm having second, having second, having second, having second, having second thoughts

Starscream brought me along to Cybertron
That's one honor I don't need
From here I cannot stop it - now the Earth is doomed
Starscream's timer's ticking down

No...

Despite my intention
He took my greatest invention
My exponential generator
Connected to a detonator

I'm having second, having second, having second, having second, having second thoughts
I'm having second, having second, having second, having second, having second thoughts

Having second thoughts, having second thoughts

(Having second thoughts)
Starscream's timer's ticking down
Starscream's timer's ticking down

(Repeat to fade)
