Strip the Valve Seat Clean

[Intro] [Verse 1] Night run, line four, the filler starts to spit Valve stuck wide open, foam climbing past my boots Cases wash sideways, labels peel and drift I kill the feed; the whole floor turns to brew [Chorus] You say save the batch, i say shut it down Beer to my knees, steel shaking all around Give me a wrench, give me room, give me time I’ll strip that valve and make the seal bite [Verse 2] You’re shouting at the clipboard, counting every pint I’m down beside the housing with the hose pulled tight Spring out, seat scraped clean, my knuckles split and sore I set the stem by hand, then brace against the roar [Chorus] You say save the batch, i say shut it down Beer to my knees, steel shaking all around Give me a wrench, give me room, give me time I’ll strip that valve and make the seal bite [Guitar solo] [Bridge] Hold that line—don’t touch the switch Seat it straight; feel the pressure quit You can count what’s left when the spill runs dry I’m turning the handle—stand clear this time [Chorus] You say save the batch, i say shut it down Beer to my knees, steel shaking all around Give me a wrench, give me room, give me time I’ll strip that valve and make the seal bite
