Iron Maiden - Weekend Warrior lyrics

(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 ain't

that way anymore

A weekend warrior lately

A weekend warrior sometimes

A weekend warrior maybe you were

never like that at all
