The Blame

Surely something can be done to help us

Thousands on board

Trusting and warm

Roused from their sleep

Sent up above

Unsinkable ship

What is she now?

What is she now?

Possibly, she won't go down

Possibly, she'll stay afloat

Possibly, all this could come to an end

On a positive note

Not unless the ship could fly

Not unless we all sprout wings

Honestly, sir, I have built her from scratch

And I know certain things!

If you know so much

Why didn't you know to prevent this?

What's to become of us all

Now that providence sent this?

This is your work, Mr. Andrews!

You have done us in!

Where's her leakproof bulkheads?

Where's her double skin?

That's your job!

If someone must take the blame

It is you!

You!

Innocent folk

Held in our care

Living their lives

Dreaming their dreams

Dreaming their dreams

Possibly, a ship will come

Possibly, we'll all be saved

Dammit, sir, listen!

We're hemorrhaging fast!

It's our hull that's been staved!

Couldn't you design it right?

Whoever heard of steel that rips?

Ismay, I'm just in the business of building

It's God who sinks ships!

There stands the captain

Who sailed us straight into disaster!

Oh, now it's the captain's turn!

Pray, who urged him to go faster?

Well, then, thank you, Mr. Ismay

For your contribution

Now please pray for some

Miraculous solution

Your timing is perfect

Now help us, please

If you can!

Who called for speed and to break every record?

Who had to keep all the millionaires happy?

How dare you, Smith!

I will not stand here indicted!

Who ignored warnings of icebergs when sighted?

Who, sir, refused to extend up the bulkheads?

You, sir! To give the first class bigger staterooms!

And who undermined the position of captain?

And who took a course too far north for the season?

And who kept insisting we land ever sooner?

And who should have posted more lookouts in darkness?

And who had to have both the largest and fastest?

Who did? Who did it?

Who did it? Who did it?

Who did it?

Possibly, the Lord will act

Possibly, He will provide

And indicate how our unthinkable fate

Can be somehow denied, somehow denied

Your work

No one else's

My doing

No one else's

There's only one Captain

And I was in charge

This is my ship

No one else's
