[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
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
