Bon Jovi with Bob Geldof I Don't Like Mondays [Live] Lyrics

jbj: and er, we got a real surprise here too tonight. i was thinking when i was up in the dressing room. there's this picture that er, ten years ago, just two weeks shy was live-aid right here in this building. and as that song opened the festival, it was er, the vision of one man. and a vision that became a reality that saved allot of lives. and er, you should be very proud to call that festival your own and er, this man one of your own. and welcome to the stage, a knight of the british empires, sir bob geldof.

bob: the silicon chip inside her head got switched to overload
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, woh

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 want to shoot... the whole day down

jbj: the 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
well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen and it ain't so neat to admit defeat
there could be (no reasons)
because there are (no reasons)
what reasons do you need, oh...

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'm gonna shoot... the whole day down, down, down
i'll shoot it all down

piano solo

bob: and all the playing's stopped in the playground now
she wants to play with her toys a while
jbj: and school is out, oh and soon we will learn that the lesson today is how to die
bob: 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)
'cause there are (no reasons)
what reasons do you need to die, die, oh...

and the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload, oh
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 could see (no reasons)
'cause there are (no reasons)
what reason do you need to be shown, woh...

tell me why i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like, i don't like
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like, i don't like
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
i want to shoot... the whole day down, ooh...
