Search And Destroy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a street walking cheater with a heart full of napalm
I'm a run-away son of a nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy
The one who's searching to destroy

[Chorus 1]
Somebody got to help me please
Somebody got to save my soul
Baby will ya take my mind?

[Chorus 2]
Look out honey cause I'm using technology
Haven't got time to make no apology

[Chorus 3]
Soul resurrected in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 4]
Honey, I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searching, searching to destroy

[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 4]

[Outro]
Forgotten boy[x2]
Yeah
