Red Hot Chili Peppers - Search and Destroy Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
The song features aggressive, punk-infused energy with distorted guitars and a raw vocal performance from Anthony Kiedis. Lyrically, it conveys themes of chaos, rebellion, and destruction, fitting the punk ethos. RHCP’s version stays true to the original’s intensity while adding their own funk-rock flair.
Song lyrics
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
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 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 hey forgotten boy
