Despite Repeated Warnings

Despite repeated warnings Our danger's up ahead The captain won't be listening To what's been said It feels that there's a good chance That we have been misled And so the captain's planning To steam ahead What can we do? What can we do? What can we do to stop This foolish plan going through What can we do? What can we do? This band is 'bout to lose his ship and his crew Despite repeated warnings From those who are to know Well, he's got his own agenda And so he'll go (What can we do?) Those who shout the loudest (What can we do?) Will not always be the smartest (What can we do?) But they have their proudest moments Right before they fall (What can we do?) Red sky in morning (What can we do?) Doesn't ever seem to faze him (What can we do?) But a sailor's warning signal Should concern us all How can we stop him? Grab the keys and lock him up If we can do it, we can save the day He engineered us with his wife and daughter Janet But he misses them so Although he's working with the best crew on the planet (The best crew!) We'll never want him to go He had a premonition He said that something's wrong And by his own admission He knew it all along The captain's crazy but he doesn't let them know it He'll take us with him if we don't do something soon to slow it How can we stop him? Grab the keys and lock him up If we can do it, we can save the day No brakes, the engineer cries The captain's gonna leave us when the temperatures rise The needle's going up, the engine's gonna blow And we are gonna be left down down below Down below Yes we can do it Yeah, we can do it now Yes we can do it Yes we can do it Yeah, we can do it now Yes we can do it Yeah, we can do it now Yes we can do it Yeah, we can do it now Oh yeah If life would work out the way he planned it Then that'd be so fine for the wife and Janet Sometimes you might have to battle through it And that's the way he learned How he got to do it Yes we can do, woah, woah Yes, we can do it, woah, woah Yes we can do it, woah, woah Yes, we can do it, woah, woah Despite repeated warnings Our danger's up ahead Well the captain wasn't listening To what was said (Those who shout the loudest) So we went to the captain (Will not always be the smartest) And told him to turn around (But they have their proudest moment) But he laughs in our faces (Right before they fall) Says we are mistaken (Red sky in the morning) So we gather around him (Doesn't seem to faze him) Now the thoughts that we have bound him (But a sailor's warning signal) Are that we should have listened (Should concern us all) To the will of the people It's the will of the people It's the will of the people
