[Verse 1]
I'm a street walking cheetah
With a heart 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

[Bridge]
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, detonate for me!

[Verse 2]
Look out honey, cause I'm using technology!
Ain't got time to make no apology
Solar radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind

[Chorus]
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' only to destroy
Hey!

[Verse 2]
Look out honey, cause I'm using technology!
Ain't got time to make no apology
Solar radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said
Hey forgotten boy

The Stooges

One of the forefront bands of what would be known as punk rock, The Stooges were formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1967, constituting of singer James “Iggy Pop” Osterberg, brothers Ron (guitar) and Scott Asheton (drums) and their friend Dave Alexander (bass guitar). During their first tenure, where Alexander was eventually fired and lead to the entrance of guitarist James Williamson (Ron took over the bass), the band had commercial struggles but recorded highly influential records such as The Stooges, Funhouse, and Raw Power. After the breakup in 1974, Iggy Pop had a remarkable solo career, and the band eventually reformed in 2003. In 2010, The Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
