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 ought to know
Well, he's got his own agenda
And so he'll go
Those who shout the loudest
Will 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
(The best crew on the planet!)
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
No one's gonna leave us when the temperatures rise
The wheel'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
