I Don't Like Mondays Lyrics

The silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload
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 school
and he can see no reason
'cos 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
as 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 sixteen ain't that peachy keen
no, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
they can see no reasons
'cos there are no reasons
what reason do you need

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...

all the playing 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
'cos there are no reasons
what reason do you need to die?
