[Verse 1] Ruins on Tython, dust in my teeth Broken stone halls and a dead-eyed wreath Droids in the arches, nasty little shits I clock their patrols and I cut through the mist My mum taught poise, my dad taught steel Two fine blades of discipline under the wheel I’ve got red in my grip and I’ve got a plan I step like a storm, not a frightened civilian [Pre-Chorus] You lot call it proper, call it clean Call it polite, call it a fitting machine I call it delaying the rot in the ground While the citizens scream and the bolts come down [Chorus] I’ll do my fucking job No matter what they say I’ll do my fucking job And I’ll clear the fucking way Kaleth burns, I stand Red blade, steady hand I’ll do my fucking job Yeah, I’ll do it my way [Verse 2] First ring comes swinging, I meet it head-on Djem So in the wrists, and the bastard is gone Second one hisses, I lift, I deflect Soresu in the blood, every strike gets wrecked I’m not here for glory, medals, or praise Just bits of metal and blood in the haze If they want a lesson, I’ll carve it in stone This is Republic work, and I’m bringing them home [Pre-Chorus] Hear that? Silence That’s the price I pay One more surge and the whole lot breaks I don’t bend, I don’t sway [Chorus] I’ll do my fucking job No matter what they say I’ll do my fucking job And I’ll clear the fucking way Kaleth burns, I stand Red blade, steady hand I’ll do my fucking job Yeah, I’ll do it my way [Spoken Section] Right then. If some stuck-up arsehole wants to call this “unseemly,” they can piss off. I was sent here. I’m here. And these droids are coming down. [Bridge] A whisper of my parents in the broken wall Xander’s nerve, Velvette’s calm through it all I carry their names like a live wire inside Not as a crown, but a reason to fight So come on, tin cowards, bring all you’ve got I’ve bled for less and I’ve seen worse rot I’ll hold this line till the slag turns cold Then walk out alone, hard-faced and bold [Final Chorus] I’ll do my fucking job No matter what they say I’ll do my fucking job And I’ll clear the fucking way Kaleth burns, I stand Red blade, steady hand I’ll do my fucking job Yeah, I’ll do it my way I’ll do my fucking job For the worlds I guard I’ll do my fucking job And I’ll leave it scarred
