Boomtown Rats

Boomtown Rats', "I Don't Like Mondays"
Better Lyrics:
('Autism parents' often say, "I love my child, but I hate their autism." However, when you hate autism, you hate autistic people's neurology, the very thing that makes us who we are, and thus hate the very core of our personhood. This Epic Logic was provided to you courtesy of Autism.)
Tell me why
I don’t love my child
Tell me why
I don’t love my child
Tell me why
I don’t love my child
I wanna shoot autism down
Original Lyrics:
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

Original Lyrics:
