Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The silicon chip inside her head
Get switched to overload
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 can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sure?
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, oh, 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 wanna shoot the whole day down
[Verse 3]
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 sixteen ain't that peachy keen
Now, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh, oh, 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 wanna shoot the whole day down
Down, down
Shoot it all down
[Verse 5]
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 problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die
Die?
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, oh
And the silicone 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 can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sure?
[Verse 7]
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 wanna shoot the whole day down
