Lyrics

I was interviewed last week on public radio
A man called up with something that I didn't know
"My name is Grant," he said, "here's what you need to hear
I'm a custodian, at least I was until last year
This word custodian, it means to take good care
When something might have hurt the kids, well I was there
For any troubled kid, I was their right hand man
The school custodian, there to lend a guiding hand
But now the jobs we did have all been privatized
Our lives, the public good, sold for the lowest price
A corporation does the cleaning work we did
They want the money, not to help some troubled kid
I see them on the street, down at the movie show
My kids rush up to hug me, "Grant where did you go?"
Their parents say to me, "The school's just not the same"
If no one cares, custodian is just a name"
We're standing at the edge of a forest of lies
Where all we hold in common has been privatized
Where corporations own every quarter of the land
When everything is private, where will freedom stand?
When those who only live for profit work to tear this country down
All we have to stand on is our common ground
And only we can find our way back home from here
We are custodians of all that we hold dear
We are custodians of all that we hold dear
