Lyrics
Well, I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
Well, I'm a runaway son of the nuclear a-bomb
I am the world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys

Somebody gotta help me please
Somebody better save my soul
Baby, know what we both need

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 better save my soul
Baby, better take my mind

I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searching, searching to destroy
Honey, I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searching, only to destroy

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 better save my soul
Baby, better take my mind

I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searching, searching to destroy
Honey, I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searching, only to destroy

Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
