leche (cowpunk band) - to the janitor's closet lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1, spoken]
tubbs was a janitor at the grade school
kids saw his missing t++th and thought him a fool
everyday he’d mop the cafeteria
they’d all scream “give us change, will ya?”

tubbs would bring a finger to his chest
that was stamped with a blue star — football’s best
“i have no change, this job pays no good no more”
“but tubbs, we need it for the school store”

they piled on him like a pyre
till he’d break and run, face burning like a fire

[chorus]
to the janitor’s closet
to the janitor’s closet
exploited by spoils
to the janitor’s closet

[verse 2, spoken]
every night after the kids went home
down haunted hallways tubbs would roam
past walls with paper scenes of a farm
past the water fountain that’s always warm

to the door that was always open
open for folks like him, who never knew when
kids started carrying hearts like dimes
so small, so short like unfinished rhymes

twisting the kn+b, thinking of his kin
smelling clorox, he’d step in

[chorus]
to the janitor’s closet
to the janitor’s closet
exploited by spoils
to the janitor’s closet

[verse 3, spoken]
but one september night
tubbs sat beneath the closet’s lonely light
trying to picture his son in college
jotting down his earnings, tubbs could judge

unless there was a miracle from the lord
his boy’s hands would stay busy, his mind bored
tubbs couldn’t smell the poison in the room
a gas leak, full in bloom

in the morning, tubbs’ corpse clutched a quarter
white men with black bags carried the stretcher

[chorus]
to the janitor’s closet
to the janitor’s closet
exploited by spoils
to the janitor’s closet
