Rats Boomtown - I Don't Like Mondays lyrics

rate me

the silicon chip inside her head<br />

gets switched to overload<br />

and nobody's gonna go to school today<br />

she's gonna make them stay at home<br />

daddy doesn't understand it<br />

he always said she was good as gold<br />

and he can see<br />

no reasons<br />

'cause there are<br />

no reasons<br />

what reasons do you need to be showed<br />

<br />

tell me why<br />

i dont like mondays<br />

tell me why<br />

i dont like mondays<br />

tell me why<br />

i dont like mondays<br />

i want to shoot the whole day down<br />

<br />

The Telex machine is kept so clean<br />

And it types to a waiting world<br />

And Mother feels so shocked<br />

Father's world is rocked<br />

And their thoughts turn to their own little girl<br />

Sweet 16 ain't it peachy keen<br />

No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat<br />

They can see no reasons<br />

'Cause there are no reasons<br />

What reason do you need, oh-h-h<br />

<br />

{Refrain}<br />

Down, down, shoot it all down<br />

<br />

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now<br />

She wants to play with her toys a while<br />

And school's out early and soon we'll be learning<br />

And the lesson today is how to die<br />

And then the bullhorn crackles<br />

And the captain tackles<br />

With the problems and the how's and why's<br />

And he can see no reasons<br />

'Cause there are no reasons<br />

What reason do you need to die, die, oh-h-h<br />

<br />

And the silicon chip inside her head<br />

Gets switched to overload<br />

Oh, and nobody's gonna go to school today<br />

She's going to make them stay at home<br />

And Daddy doesn't understand it<br />

He always said she was as good as gold<br />

And he can see no reason<br />

'Cause there are no reasons<br />

What reason do you need to be showed<br />

<br />

{Refrain, with 7 tell me why's}
