Lyrics

The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool  
Who are you kidding being that cool?  
  
Trying to break away from running  
With the pack  
But they ain't listening so you've  
Gotta go back  
  
You're a weekend warrior when  
You're one of the crowd  
But it's over, just look at you now  
  
You're not so brave the way you behave  
It makes you sick, gotta get out quick  
It's all bravado when you're out  
With your mates  
It's like a different person goes through  
Those gates  
And the game begins  
The adrenalin's high  
Feel the tension maybe someone  
Will die  
  
A weekend warrior lately  
A weekend warrior sometimes  
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't  
That way anymore  
  
You've gotta get out gotta get away  
But you're in with a clique it's not  
Easy to stray  
You've gotta admit you're just  
Living a lie  
It didn't take long to work out why  
  
It's hard to say why you got involved  
Just wanting to be part  
Just wanting to belong  
  
A weekend warrior lately  
A weekend warrior sometimes  
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't  
That way anymore  
  
Some of the things that you've done  
You feel so ashamed  
After all it's only a game... isn't it?  
And after all the adrenalin's gone  
What you gonna do on Monday?  
  
A weekend warrior lately  
A weekend warrior sometimes  
A weekend warrior maybe you were  
Never like that at all
