I Don’t Like Mondays Lyrics

I Don’t Like Mondays

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
(tell me why) I don’t like mondays
(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,
Her mother feels so shocked
Father’s world is rocked
And their thoughts turn 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
(tell me why) I don’t like mondays
(tell me why) I don’t like mondays
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 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 reasons do you need to die, die, oh

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
And 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 could see (no reasons)
’cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(tell me why) I don’t like mondays
(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
(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 mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down
