[Spoken Word Intro: Jon Bon Jovi]
And, uh, we got a real surprise here, too, tonight
I was thinkin' when I was up in the dressin' room, there's this picture, that, uh
Ten years ago, just two weeks shy, was Live Aid, right here in this buildin'
And as that song opened the festival, it was, uh, the vision of one man
And a vision that became a reality that saved a lot of lives
And, uh, you be proud to call that festival your own and, uh, this man one of your own
And, welcome to the stage, a knight of the British Empire, Sir Bob Geldof

[Verse 1: Bob Geldof]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Bob Geldof]
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa

[Chorus: Bob Geldof]
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, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, the whole day down
[Verse 2: Bob Geldof]
The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
Her 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

[Pre-Chorus: Bob Geldof]
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are no reasons
What reasons do you need? Oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: Bob Geldof]
(Tell me why) I don't like Monday
(Tell me why) I don't like Monday
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I'm gonna shoot, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Bob Geldof]
And all the playin's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
School is out early, and soon we'll be learnin' 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
'Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to die, die? Oh, whoa-whoa

[Verse 1: Bob Geldof]
And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
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 reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?

[Chorus: Bob Geldof]
(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, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, the whole (Day down)
[Outro: Bob Geldof]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, mh-mh-mh-mh-mh-mh
