11. Weekend Warrior (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...
[Chorus:]
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 workout why
It's hard to say why you got involved
Just waiting to be part, just waiting to belong...
[Chorus:]
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.
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...
[Chorus:]
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 workout why
It's hard to say why you got involved
Just waiting to be part, just waiting to belong...
[Chorus:]
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.
