Search And Destroy Chords & Tabs
Band: The Stooges
Song: Search and Destroy
Album: Raw Power
Year: 1973
Yes, I'm aware that the band was called Iggy & The Stooges when
this was recorded, but I don't see the point of splitting up tabs
between the two band names when they were essentially the same band.

Im a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
Im a runaway son of the nuclear a-bomb
I am the worlds forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonate for me
Look out honey, cause Im using technology
Aint 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 gotta save my soul
Baby penetrate my mind
And Im the worlds forgotten boy
The one whos searchin, searchin to destroy
And honey Im the worlds forgotten boy
The one whos searchin, searchin to destroy
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said hey forgotten boy
