The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays lyrics

The silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload And nobody's gonna go to school today She's going to make them stay at home And daddy doesn't understand it He always said she was as good as gold And he can see no reason 'cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown? (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays I wanna shoot The whole day down The telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting world Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked And their thoughts turn to their own little girl Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat They can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons What reason do you need, oh, ohoho (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays I wanna shoot The whole day down, down, down Shoot it all down And all the playing's stopped in the playground now She wants to play with the toys a while And school's out early and soon we be learning And the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles With the problems and the hows and whys And he can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to die, die, ohoho And the silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload, oh And nobody's gonna go to school today She's going to make them stay at home And daddy doesn't understand it He always said she was as good as gold And he can see no reason 'cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown? (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like, I don't like (Tell me why) I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I wanna shoot The whole day down (Ooohooohooo, ooohooohooo Ooohooohooo)
