I Don't Like Mondays - Live In London/1995

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

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

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

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
