Tori Amos - I Don't Like Mondays lyrics

[Originally by The Boomtown Rats] The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload and nobody's gonna go to school today she's gonna make them stay at home And Daddy doesn't understand it He always said she was good as gold And he can see no reason Cos there are no reasons What reasons do you need to be shown [Chorus:] Tell me why I don't like Mondays I want to shoot The whole day down The telex machine is kept so clean and it types to waiting world. And 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 Cos there are no reasons What reasons do you need to be shown [Repeat Chorus] All the playing's stopped in the playground now She wants to play with her toys awhile And school's out early and soon we'll be learning That the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles And the captain tackles With the problems and the how's and why's And he can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reasons do you need to die [Repeat Chorus]
