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 parties,

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
