O'Boyle	A Song or Two for Colorado's Victims (102* d)	Lyr Add: I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS (Bob Geldof)	26 Apr 99
In the late 70's, Brenda Spencer shot up Cleveland Elementary school in San Diego, Ca. When asked why she did it, she said it was because she hated mondays. Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats wrote a song about it which was banned. I never understood why it was banned, except that people did not take the time to listen to it's message asking why some thing like this should or could happen. I put it back in my playlist the night after the shooting and people have responded well. Rick I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS (Bob Geldof) 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 reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown 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. The Telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting world, And Mother feels so shocked As her world is rocked, And her thoughts turn to her own little girl. Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen, No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat, They can see no reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need 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, down, down, shoot 'em all down... And now the playing's stopped in the playground now She's wants to play with her toys awhile 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 and the how's and why's And he can see no reason 'Cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to die 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 reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reason do you need to be shown 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.
