Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)-Honest Men Lyrics

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,

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

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'
