Dm  F5 E5  C5  x 3  Dm  C5 D5

        Dm     F5 E5  C5
It's an S.O.S.
Sent out telepathically
Signs of our distress
Don't allow complacency

We need restoration now
Of our integrity
And a drastic bold reminder
   Dm      C5 D5
Of our morality

      D5!        F5       C5
  The rectifying troop is here
  The ones we've needed all these years
     D5!              F5     F5
  To stop the heinous wrongdoings
      G5                 B♭5            C5
  And verify our moral benevolence as a people

    Dm        B♭
    Operation
    Dm        B♭ C
    Operation Rescue
            B♭                C
    They're here to right our fall
            B♭                 F5 C5
    They've heard our troubled call

    Operation
    Operation Rescue
    You wonder where they come from
    But I just wonder why they're here at all

Dm  F5 E5  C5  x 3  Dm  C5 D5  w/ Oh & (Ya)

Life ever-after
Is what they're in business for
See them brandish
The key to our kingdom's door

It's pervasive, a part of
Part of you and me
But not overwhelming
As they wish it to be

  If no one believed in fairy tales
  There's nothing they could do but fail
  Yet everywhere we look
  Someone is trying to reassure
  Our moral benevolence as a people

    Refrain  fin: But I just wonder what compels them all

But I just wonder what compels them all...
