And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
And daddy doesn't understand it
And daddy doesn't understand it
And he can see no reasons
And he can see no reasons
And it types to a waiting world
And nobody's gonna go to school today
And school's out early and soon we be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
Down, down, shoot it all down
Gets switched to overload
He always said she was good as gold
He always said she was good as gold
Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
I don't like
I don't like
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down
I wanna shoot the whole day down
I wanna shoot the whole day down
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
She wants to play with the toys a while
She's gonna make them stay at home
She's gonna make them stay at home
Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy keen
The silicon chip inside her head
The silicon chip inside her head
The Telex machine is kept so clean
They can see no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh?
What reasons do you need, oh oh oh oh?
'Cause there are no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
