I Don't Like Mondays

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

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 reasons do you need to be showed

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

The Telex machine is kept so clean

And 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 it 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-h-h

Down, down, 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'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 tackles

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, oh-h-h

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 showed
