I Don't Like Mondays (Live)

The silicon chip inside her head

Got switched to overload

Nobody's gonna go to school today

She's going to make them stay at home.

And daddy doesn't understand her

He always said she was as 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 16ain'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
