Man, does this bring back memories. In junior high a group of kids did a play based on this song. It was VERY intense. I don't know how many kids even got it, but I remember it shook me to the core. Ah...another reason I'm so glad my kids are home.

I Don't Like Mondays
The silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload
and nobody's gonna go to school today
she's gonna make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reason
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to be shown
Chorus:
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean
and it types to waiting world.
And 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
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to be shown
Repeat Chorus
All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
That the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to die
Repeat Chorus
lyrics and music by Bob Geldof
taken from the album "The Fine Art of Surfacing"

On Jan 29th 1979 Brenda Spencer, age 16, opened fire from her house
toward a
nearby elementary school playground, killing 2 and wounding 9. She told
a
reporter who called her during the 6 1/2 hour seige "I don't like
Mondays.
This livens up the day."
