I Don't Like Mondays
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
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 reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x)
I want to 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 turned to their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are ( no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x)
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that the lessontoday is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles with the problems and the how's andwhy's
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh
The silicon chip inside her head,
Gets switched to overload
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 reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (2x)
(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 (2x)
I want to shoot the whole day down
