B7Our danger's Dmup aE7head
AWhile the Emcaptain wasn't Dlistening
DTo what was E7said
[Outro]
AmSo we went to the captain (What can we do / For those who shout the loudest)
G2And we told him to turn around (What can we do / May not always be the smartest)
FBut he laughs in our faces (What can we do / But they have their proudest moments)
E7Says that we are mistaken (Right before they fall)
AmSo we gather around him (What can we do / Red sky in the morning)
G2Now the ropes that have bound him (What can we do / Doesn't ever seem to phase him)
FKnow that he shouldn't listen (What can we do / But a sailor's warning signal)
E7(Should concern us all)
E7To the will of the people
CIt's the will of the people
DIt's the will of the people
