Lyrics
I'm a street walking cheetah
With a hide full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy

The one who searches and destroys
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonates for me

Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology !
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penetrates my mind
And I'm the world's forgotten boy

The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy

Forgotten boy said
Hey forgotten boy
