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
