I Dont Like Mondays
Boomtown Rats


The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload,
And nobodys gonna go to school today,
Shes gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesnt understand it,
He always said she was as good as gold,
And he can see [ no reason 
Cos there are  [ no reason 
What reason do you need to be shown
[Tell me why
[Tell me why
[Tell me why
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,
Fathers world is rocked,
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Sweet 16 aint that peachy keen,
No, it aint so neat to admit defeat,
They can see [ no reason 
Cos there are [ no reason 
What reason do you need
Tell me why
I Dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I Dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I Dont like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down down down
Shoot em all down
[02:09
All the playings stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And schools out early and soon well be learning
And the lesson today is how to die,
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain crackles,
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see  [ no reason 
Cos there are  [ no reason 
What reason do you need to die die
[Tell me why
[Tell me why
[Tell me why
 I dont like
[Tell me why 
[Tell me why
I dont like
[Tell me why
[Tell me why
I want to shoot
The whole
day
