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
