Honest Men Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

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 parties 

All we need is a few good men 

Send the S.O.S. and red alerts 

All across the universe 

Calling all 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 

(Calling all honest men) 

S.O.S. emergency 

Sinking fast and getting worse 

Where's your honest men? 

(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 

(Calling all honest men) 

S.O.S. emergency 

Sinking fast and getting worse 

Where's your honest men 

(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 

S.O.S. across the universe 

Where's your honest 

We need your honest 

Calling all honest men 

Calling out all over the world 

(Sending out an S.O.S.) 

Where's your honest men 

Looking out all over the world 

(Sending out to save the world) 

We need your honest men 

Calling out all over the world 

(Sending out an S.O.S.) 

Where's your honest men 

Looking out all over the world 

(Sending out to save the world) 

We need your honest men 

Honest men, ooh 

Calling all honest men 

Save the world, ooh 

Calling all honest men 

Honest men, ooh 

Calling all honest men 

Save the world, ooh 

Calling all honest men 

Ooh, calling all honest men 

Ooh, calling all honest men
