Homework

I Don’t Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats.

Lyrics Discussed

_The silicon chip inside her head

Gets switched to overloadAnd nobody’s gonna go to school todayShe’s going to make them stay at home

And daddy doesn’t understand it

He always said she was as good as goldAnd he can see no reason ‘cause there are no reasonsWhat 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 MondaysI wanna shoot

The whole day down
