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

Yeah yeah

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

What can we do

Those who shout the loudest

What can we do

May 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 the 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

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

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 it

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

That'd be so fine for the wife and Janet

Sometimes you might have to battle through it

And that's the way you learn how you've got to do it

Yes we can do it whoa oh

Yes we can do it whoa oh whoa

Yes we can do it whoa oh whoa

Yes we can do it whoa oh whoa

Despite repeated warnings

Of dangers up ahead

Well the captain wasn't listening

To what was said

For those who shout the loudest

So we went to the captain

May not always be the smartest

And we told him to turn around

But they have their proudest moments

But he laughs in our faces

Right before they fall

Says that we are mistaken

Red sky in the morning

So we gather around him

What can we do

Doesn't ever seem to phase him

Now the ropes that have bound him

What can we do

But a sailor's warning signal

Prove that he 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
