Weekend Warrior - Iron Maiden

(Harris/Gers) 5:39

  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
