tell me why - i dont like mondays by.....boomtown rats
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 going to make them stay at home.
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was as good as gold.
And he can see no reason
'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 want to shoot
The whole day down.
The telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a 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 so peachy keen,
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat.
They 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 want to shoot
The whole day down.
All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while.
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 crackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's.
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?
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.

Is that the song by Bob Geldofs band from years ago. For example the song goes "Tell me why I don't like Mondays, Tell me why I don't like Mondays" I think the band is called "The boomtown rats" or something like that! The song was based on a true story about a girl who did not like Mondays!

The song is called "I don't Like Mondays" and it was written by Bob Geldoff and recorded by his band, the Boomtown Rats.
He wrote it after doing a radio interview in the UK. During the course of the interview, a schoolgirl when nuts at her school and started shooting students and teachers. It was a Monday, and apparently her excuse was that she didn't like Monday's. Geldoff wrote about it because it was such a sureal moment for him as he sat there answering mundane questions about his career and this girl was simultaneuosly gunning down innocent kids.

This is the classical Boomtown Rats hits I Don't Like Monday.
This is about Brenda Spencer, a 16-year-old San Diego high school student who lived across from an elementary school. On Monday, January 29, 1979, she opened fire on the school with a rifle, killing 2 adults (including the principal) and injuring 9 kids before going back to her home. Police surrounded her home and waited for 7 hours until she gave herself up. In that time, she spoke with a reporter on the phone. When asked why she did it, she replied, "I just started shooting, that's it. I just did it for the fun of it. I just don't like Mondays. I just did it because it's a way to cheer the day up. Nobody likes Mondays."This was a hit in England, but it flopped in America, probably because the subject matter hit too close to home. Gun violence is a big problem in America.

For someone who cannot recall the words, you seem to have most of them in your actual question.
Bob Geldof based the song on a headline in a US paper about a true incident so it is a particular sad song really " I don't like Mondays" but I don't actually like The Boomtown Rats , they were particularly mediocre
