I don't like Mondays (The Boomtown Rats)

The Silicon Chip inside her head gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna to make them stay at home
And Daddy does'nt understad it, he always said she was
Good as gold and he can see no reason
Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sure

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

Their telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
and their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy (Pfirsich) keen (scharf, spitz)
Now it ain't so neat(sauber) to admit (zu-, ein-, vor-, gelten lassen) defeat
(besiegen)
And they can see no reasons cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need

Tell me why,...

And all the playings stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
And School's out early and soon we'll be learning
But the lesson today is "`how to die"'
And the bullhorn crackles (knistern, knattern)
And the Captain tackles the problems (das Problem angehen) and hows and whys
And he can see no reason cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to die

Tell me why,...
