"Honest Men" lyrics

ELO Part II Lyrics

"Honest Men"

We're just a stone's throw
From Burning Hellfire
Does anybody know
Where did all the heroes go?
We've had our fill of
This gallery of scoundrels
The leaders of the world
Those power hungry liars

Rise up and sound the sirens
Send out the searching powers
All we need is a few good men
Send the S.O.S. and red alerts
All across the universe
Calling your honest men?
S.O.S. emergency
Sinking fast and getting worse

Where's your honest men?
In some village, far away
Or in a little town pub
High on a mountain top
There must be an honest man
Calling all honest men

Throw out the tyrants
The aged fat cats
Outlived their usefulness
They have led us to this mess
Make them answer
Hold them to their promises
And throw them in the street
If they won't tell the truth

S.O.S. and red alert
All across the universe
Calling all honest men
S.O.S. emergency

Sinking fast and getting worse
Where's your honest men?
To your stations
Man the ramparts
The barricades
We need new heroes urgently

We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
Call to him
He lives next door
Across the street
On the upper floor

It's our only hope we need him now
Send the S.O.S. and red alert
All across the universe
Calling all honest men
S.O.S. emergency
Sinking fast and getting worse

Where's your honest men
Strike a blow
Save the ship
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
S.O.S. across the universe
Where's your honest
We need your honest
Calling all honest men

Calling out all over the world
Where's your honest men
Looking out all over the world
We need your honest men
