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 OSKAR WIGREN 1997-02-06
