  • 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

    Honey, gotta help me, please
    Somebody gotta save my soul
    Baby, detonate for me, ow

    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

    Honey, gotta strike me blind
    Somebody gotta save my soul
    Baby, penetrate 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' only to destroy, hey

    Hey, hey
    Hey, hey

    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

    Honey, gotta strike me blind
    Somebody gotta save my soul
    Baby, penetrate 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, uh
    Hey, forgotten boy, said
    Hey, hey, hey, hey Writer/s: James Osterberg, James Williamson
