D. Rogers: Don​’​t Smile ’til Easter

from (PB​:​100) by Popboomerang

about

"First year teachers are told that they shouldn’t smile at their students until Easter, to establish authority in the classroom. This is my song about that"

lyrics

Don’t smile ’til Easter

With a projector screen and a crumpled up degree
the black line master falling at your feet

You've got a broken smile and that hand me down style
You'll Rock the boat ’til someone grabs the oars, or

Don’t smile ’til Easter
Don't let them know your not that hard of heart
That the system could fall apart
Don't let them in

Don’t smile ’til Easter
Don’t let them see you see yourself in them
That you've been taught how to pretend
Don’t let them in

With a bounce in your stride and ears open wide
From “I’ll try to wonder” to “I wonder why I try?”

You take what you get and you get what you give
You gave all you got but then forgot to live, so

Don’t smile ’til Easter
Don’t let them know what’s underneath the facade
And that you won’t let down your guard
Don’t let them in
