Lyrics: 
 
The rebel of yesterday, tomorrows 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 adrenaline'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 adrenaline'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
