Search and Destroy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grab your gun, time to go to hell
I'm no hero guilty as charged
Search and destroy

Found my faith, living in sin
I'm no Jesus, but neither are you my friend
I'm a whore, a birth of broken dreams
This simple answer is never what it seems

[Chorus]
A million little pieces we've broken into
A million little pieces I've stolen from you
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy, search and destroy

[Verse 2]
Sold my soul, to heaven and to hell
Sick as my secrets, but never gonna tell
Love to blame, burden of my dreams
A curse of faith and a blessing I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe (A million little pieces)
I believe

[Chorus]
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy

[Bridge]
Let go, let go
Let me go, let me go
Let go, let go
Let me go

Search and destroy (a million little pieces)
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
A million little pieces (search and destroy)
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
Stolen from you!

[Chorus]
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy, search and destroy

[Outro]
A million little pieces
A million little pieces to start

Genius Answer

Jared Leto talked about the song in an exclusive track-by-track album preview with MusicRadar published on December 2, 2009:

Actually, we were going to throw this song out, but we decided to keep it. It was hard to mix, a total pain in ass, but I’m glad it made the record because I think it fits in with the overall framework of the album.

The song is a mission, an adventure that takes you on a journey. Maybe that’s why it gave us so much trouble: We had go on an adventure as a band to get it right. Some songs come very easily and other ones fight you.

Oftentimes, the ones that give you trouble turn out to be the best ones – this is an example of the latter.
