Boomtown Rats

"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
and Daddy doesn't understand her
he always said she was good as gold
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,
I want to shoot the whole day down...

the Telex machine is kept so clean, and it types to a waiting world
mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
and their thoughts turn to their own little girl
sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen
no, it ain't too neat to admit defeat
you can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons
what reason do you need?

oh, tell me why I don't like Mondays,
I want to shoot the whole day down...

and 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 hows and whys
you can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons
what reason do you need to die?

tell me why I don't like Mondays,
I want to shoot the whole day down...
