Honest Men

Where have all the honest men gone?
I'm flocked by vultures in the summer Sun
They take what they can get, then gone in another breath
Where have all the honest men gone?
My shoes are filled with lead, what can I do?
It's sink or swim or just avoid the truth
So I'll take what I can get, and accept the consequence
But where have all the honest men gone?
Now there's tears in my eyes, oh no surprise
'Cause there'll be tears in my eyes till the day I die
Oh angel of death, why haven't you kissed me yet?
Oh angel of death, I long for your caress
So won't you save me, oh save me
Oh, won't you save me, oh save me
Where has all my happiness gone?
It disappeared the moment I sang your song
I'll be buried in this noose, it's written in the books
But where have all the honest men gone?
Now there's tears in my eyes, oh no surprise
'Cause there'll be tears in my eyes till the day I die
Oh angel of death, why haven't you kissed me yet?
Oh angel of death, I long for your caress
So won't you save me, oh save me
Oh, won't you save me, oh save me
My soul wasn't enough, you want it all, you wanted blood
My soul wasn't enough, you want it all, you wanted blood
My soul wasn't enough, you want it all, you wanted blood
My soul wasn't enough, you want it all, you wanted blood
My soul wasn't enough, you want it all, you wanted blood
My soul wasn't enough, you want it all, you wanted blood
But where have all the honest men gone?
