Lyrics

Search and Destroy

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm a streetwalking cheetah

With a heart full of napalm

Well, I'm a runaway son

Of the nuclear A-bomb

[Pre-Chorus]

And I am the world's forgotten boy

The one who searches and destroys

[Chorus]

Honey, gotta help me, please

Somebody gotta save my soul

Baby, detonate for me

[Verse 2]

Look out, honey

'Cause I'm using technology

And I ain't got time

To make no apology

[Pre-Chorus]

Soul radiation in the dead of the night

Love in the middle of a firefight

[Chorus 1]

Honey, gotta strike me blind

Somebody gotta save my soul

Baby, penetrate my mind

[Chorus 2]

And I'm thе world's forgotten boy (Forgotten boy)

The onе who's searchin' (Searchin') to destroy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Look out, honey

'Cause I'm using technology

And I ain't got time

To make no apology

[Pre-Chorus]

Soul radiation in the dead of the night

Love in the middle of a firefight

[Chorus 1]

Honey, gotta strike me blind

Somebody gotta save my soul

Baby, penetrate my mind

[Chorus 2]

And I'm the world's forgotten boy (Forgotten boy)

The one who's searchin' (Searchin') to destroy

And I'm the world's forgotten boy (Forgotten boy)

The one who's searchin' (Searchin') to destroy

[Post-Chorus]

Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)

Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)

Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)

Search and destroy

Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)

[Outro]

Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
