Custodian Blues

[Verse] Sweeping floors Mop in hand In these hallways I take my stand From classroom to classroom I roam Dusting away all the dirt and the gloom [Verse] With my trusty Kaivac I clean the shrines Bathrooms gleaming Smelling just fine Scrubbing away every stain and grime In this custodial world I'm doing my time [Chorus] Oh I got the custodian blues Sweeping and cleaning in my worn-out shoes But I take pride in what I do There's a beauty in making everything brand new [Verse] Late nights with a mop Pushing that broom Cleaning up each room But it feels like a tomb Custodian blues Just a paycheck to collect Is it worth it? I sit here and reflect [Verse 2] The world's a little bit brighter But the pain won't fade Every day's the same Trapped in this charade I scrub the floors Trying to keep the bills paid Custodian blues A life that feels betrayed [Chorus] I've got it made, Keepin' the bills paid Oh yeah, baby [Outro] Yeah yeah yeah
