I Don’t Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats.

Lyrics Discussed

_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?_

And

_(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
