Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobodys gonna go to school today
Shes gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesnt understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?

Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Fathers world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 aint that peachy keen
Now that aint so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot
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'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
(With the problems of the how's and why's)
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die?
Oh Oh Oh

Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like
I dont like (Tell me why)
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like
I dont like (Tell me why)
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

Grover Cleveland Elementary school shooting, January 29, 1979

After 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer walked into a California elementary school and shot two teachers, eight students, and a police officer, her defense was simple: "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." Enter: Boomtown Rats' Bob Geldof, who released the song nearly seven months later, and used it to address the complete senselessness of the tragedy.

Wrong, she shot them from her own window, she lived just infront of the school, and shot after her favourite colour.

[Erik Thompson]

Wrong. People get shot in 'Gun Free Zones' because bad people don't register their guns. They usually steal them. America is not Denmark.

Zapraszamy do Trójki :D

[Clint President]

that is just plain stupid & ignorant.

Mondays aren't so bad, I don't like Fridays, thanks to Rebecca Black.

It's a lot more difficult to shoot someone, if there aren't any guns around. And no the government wouldn't take over anything if there weren't any guns. Look at Denmark fx there is not that many guns, and the government hasn't taken over the country.

she only killed two teachers and like injuried the rest

[Rhys Short]

Later, during tests while she was in custody it was discovered Spencer had an injury to the temporal lobe of her brain, attributed to an accident on her bicycle. Spencer excelled in photography, winning first prize in a Humane Society competition. After her parents had separated, she lived with her father in virtual poverty; they slept on a single mattress on the living room floor.

[ROBB CONOVER]

Spencer lived in San Carlos neighborhood of San Diego, California in a house across the street from Grover Cleveland Elementary School, San Diego Unified School District. Aged 16 she was 5' 1" tall, unusually thin and had bright red hair; a classmate described her as "pretty crummy looking". Acquaintances later said Spencer expressed negative attitudes toward policemen, and had talked about shooting one. Teachers described her as introverted; sometimes they inquired if she was awake.
