Do Your Job | They Called Him Cavalry - Track 16

They Called Him Cavalry - Act II: Command Track 16 - Lieutenant Edmund Boone "Do Your Job" [Verse 1] The paper’s thin, the ink runs light Words line up but won’t agree East tree line, don’t overreach Visibility’s your liability You can obey this six ways clean And still be wrong in every one That’s not a flaw—that’s how it works Responsibility weighs a ton [Pre-Chorus] If the ground won’t hold That’s not my call If men fall back They should’ve stood taller [Chorus] Do your job That’s all I said I don’t choose outcomes I assign where blame can land Do your job Use what you’ve got If it costs you men That’s not intent—that’s cost [Verse 2] He asks like someone counting lives Like numbers change if spoken slow Talks about fire we can’t answer As if restraint’s not something owed I see the chevrons before the eyes I see the problem before the plea Discretion’s not a shield from loss It’s where loss gets assigned to you, not me [Pre-Chorus] I don’t raise my voice I don’t need to The order stands Whether you do [Chorus] Do your job Observe, report Don’t chase noise Don’t press for sport Do your job Hold the line If it breaks That break is mine to define [Bridge] Silence is not confusion It’s procedure working fine You wanted intent I gave you structure The rest belongs to time If pressure builds, disengage If it builds too fast—withdraw If men don’t make it back They learned where the limits are [Break (half-time, stripped)] I didn’t tell you to die I told you where not to go If you crossed anyway You owned what followed [Final Chorus] Do your job Don’t ask again Clarity’s not my obligation Only record and when Do your job Carry it out History favors paperwork Not the ones who shout [Outro] I don’t move men I move lines I don’t kill I authorize time Do your job. ----- They Called Him Cavalry was made with the use of AI for the instrumental and vocal elements.
