Search and Destroy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a streetwalking cheetah
With a heart full of napalm
Well, I'm a runaway son
Of the nuclear A-bomb
[Pre-Chorus]
And I am the world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys
[Chorus]
Honey, gotta help me, please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, detonate for me
[Verse 2]
Look out, honey
'Cause I'm using technology
And I ain't got time
To make no apology
[Pre-Chorus]
Soul radiation in the dead of the night
Love in the middle of a firefight
[Chorus 1]
Honey, gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind
[Chorus 2]
And I'm thе world's forgotten boy (Forgotten boy)
The onе who's searchin' (Searchin') to destroy
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Look out, honey
'Cause I'm using technology
And I ain't got time
To make no apology
[Pre-Chorus]
Soul radiation in the dead of the night
Love in the middle of a firefight
[Chorus 1]
Honey, gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind
[Chorus 2]
And I'm the world's forgotten boy (Forgotten boy)
The one who's searchin' (Searchin') to destroy
And I'm the world's forgotten boy (Forgotten boy)
The one who's searchin' (Searchin') to destroy
[Post-Chorus]
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
Search and destroy
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
[Outro]
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)
Search and destroy (Forgotten boy)

Al Jourgensen:
When we did this Stooges cover, Iggy was the first person I sent it to. I would not have put it on the record if he didn’t give it a thumbs up. But the whole backstory is that I did the song at a benefit concert for teen suicide run by Dave Navarro and Billy Morrison. I got really st...
