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

I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean

As it types to a 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 'cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need, oh, ohoho

I want to shoot the whole day down, down, down

Shoot it all down

All the playing's stopped in the playground now

She wants to play with her toys a while

And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

And the lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain crackles

With the problems and the how's and why's

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

(Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like
