Despite Repeated Warnings歌词

Despite repeated warnings
Of dangers up ahead
The captain won't be listening
To what's been said
He 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 man is bound to lose his ship and his crew
Despite repeated warnings
From those who ought to know
Well, he's got his own agenda
And so he'll go
Those who shout the loudest
May not always be the smartest
But they have their proudest moments
Right before they fall
Red sky in the morning
Doesn't ever seem to faze him
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
The engineer lives with his wife and daughter Janet
But he misses them so
Although he's working with the best crew on the planet
They never want him to go
He had a premonition
He senses 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 him
How can we stop him
Grab the keys and lock him up
If we can do it
We can save the day
Below decks 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 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 you plan it

Sometimes you might have to battle through it
But that's the way you learn how you've got to do it
Yes we can do it whoa, whoa
Yes we can do it whoa, whoa
Yes we can do it whoa, whoa
Yes we can do it whoa, whoa
Despite repeated warnings
Of dangers up ahead
Well the captain wasn't listening
To what was said
So we went to the captain
And we told him to turn around
But he laughs in our faces
Says that we are mistaken
So we gather around him
Now the ropes that have bound him
Prove that he should have listened
To the will of the people
It's the will of the people
It's the will of the people
