Shear Jaws Won't Let Go

[Вступление] [Куплет 1] Railcar frame in the shear jaws, halfway through the steel Hydraulic blade hangs biting; nothing moves or yields I hit the pedal, hear the pump strain, watch the pressure climb The crew keeps feeding scrap like we can borrow time [Припев] Hold that line—blade stuck fast! Clear the pit—get the crew back! You want the barge on schedule? then hear what i say: No one feeds that shear till the steel lets go its way! [Куплет 2] The foreman waves his clipboard, says the tide won’t wait I shout above the engine, “that load can hold its place!” Down in the pit, with gloves and bars, we work the trapped edge free One wrong shift beneath that frame, and no one walks out clean [Припев] Hold that line—blade stuck fast! Clear the pit—get the crew back! You want the barge on schedule? then hear what i say: No one feeds that shear till the steel lets go its way! [Guitar solo] [Припев] Hold that line—blade stuck fast! Clear the pit—get the crew back! You want the barge on schedule? then hear what i say: No one feeds that shear till the steel lets go its way! [Аутро] The blade comes free; the cut falls clean We clear the pit; we count the team Let the barge wait at the quay No one feeds that shear today
