Boomtown Rats, The - 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 gold
And he can see no reason '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 wanna 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

Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need, oh, ohoho

(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

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we be learning
And the lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
With the 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, ohoho

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
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 gold
And he can see no reason '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 wanna shoot

The whole day down
(Ooohooohooo, ooohooohooo
Ooohooohooo)

  46. T.... H....

    Very sick and sad that someone makes money from this and then gets a knighthood for giving people guns lol ah well its all for charity isnt it like old Jimmy, Now then now then, cant say nothing knighthood eeeeugh.


    In reality people like this would be strung up not hailed as heroes writing songs about sick things like this, did he pay the victims people? I think not. The whole world seems to think this guy is a saint I think he is dirt.
    This man is the worst. Good riddance to this rubbish

    This sitting room looks like where madness were singing our house.

  66. D.... M....

    I didn't know she killed those poor primary schools kids back then!!!😭😭😭

  67. B.... C....

    Em 1979 esta era a música nr. 1 no top de mais de 30 países. Esta faixa foi inspirada nos actos de Brenda que, quando indagada pela Polícia acerca do porquê da sua prática, respondeu simplesmente: "Não gosto de segundas-feiras. Mas isto vai animar o dia". A história completa aqui: http://brianstormcrime.simplesite.com/443950573

  68. A.... .....

    And the lesson today is HOW TO DAII!

  69. k.... e....

    I probably get a distended stomach after eating gluten. I'm ok if I eat just a bit xxx

  70. M.... A....

    Ah juuuuust have an armory in the classroom, if a shooter pulls up, The class monitor John wicks em

  71. k.... e....

  72. G.... H....

    good JOB♫!!

  73. G.... H....

    I Like MONDY~♪

  74. o.... n....

    Old version of pumped up kicks

  75. b.... ....

    The truth is America is a dumb place where people buy kids a gun at the age of 16 thats a kids age. So what do i do with the gun ummmmm??? let me think ahhhhhhhh ummmm and as Bart Simson would say DOH i bloody well SHOOT things with it and there are some things over there aha they are like a moving target range that i have seen at the Circus and Fairground and Gymkana so lets load up and have some FUN !! knowone has said that at the time shooting rampages were fairly uncommon in America but now there is more than one a day and unless you shoot say less than 20 people you dont even hit the headlines - how crazy is that? are any songs written these days about mass shootings??

  76. R.... J....

    I don't like Monday's because I drink on sundays I have a big hang over

  77. S.... ....

    i cant be the only one from The 100?

  78. A.... P....

    FALSE FLAG ALERT

  79. S.... z....

    2:57 he looks like the love child of Seinfeld and a young John Travolta here

  80. S.... T....

    In 1979, a 16-Year-old girl shot 11 people in a school in California. Her explanation was: "I just hate mondays" (True story) Bob made lots of money from this 1982 hit and gave none to the victim's family.

    S.... T....

    This song was number 1 in the Summer of 1979.

  81. U.... L....

    Eu também kkkkkk

  82. A.... B....

    I get Monday is the worst day of the week but why end lives?

  83. W.... V....

    I don't like Geldof, tell me why, I don't like Geldof, tell me why....

  84. P.... S....

    for anyone who,s a new person based on this song here,s all about the shooting story in San Diego and the victims etc--->--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Don%27t_Like_Mondays<---

    P.... S....

    @Albert Pike ?

  85. j.... ....

    Who'd a thought that 40 years later Bob Geldof woulda been proved to be a douchebag

    j.... ....

    His critics were erased.

  86. T.... d....

    When music was good...

  87. S.... C....

    I always wondered if the kids in the video knew what it was actually about

  88. A.... M....

    True story a girl shot her classmates

    A.... M....

    The story is fake.

  89. H.... L....

    The girl who committed the school shooting this song is about, she wrote a letter to bob geldoff. She thanked him for making her famous. ”Cause there are no reasons” -except she was sexually abused.

  90. K.... F....

    I don't like Mondays

  91. K.... F....

    There's actually a very sad story behind this song

  92. B.... W....

    Any 1 in oct 19 dont like mondays

  93. D.... D....

    It’s.very sad that Brenda Ann Spencer’s actions are attached to this song.

  94. W.... W....

    the only story behind this song is that geldof is a cock

  95. M.... O....

    A former partner named her KC reg Black Lab Bengelgof of Bay :) On a serious note, I remember the incident :( And nothing has changed. Your kids are still killing each other in school USA. Heartbreaking :(

    M.... O....

    Your government will always kill your people, until you grow a backbone.

  96. C.... Z....

    Remember these are
