Weekend Warrior Lyrics
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
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 one of the crowd
But it's over, just look at you now...
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 sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't
that way anymore
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
Just wanting to be part
just wanting to belong...
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't
that way anymore
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 sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you were
never like that at all

This song is about the football hooligans that go to the games for the sole purpose of causing trouble. They are not real football fans and have only a limited interest in the match itself, let alone the team they are supposed to support. They only live for the weekend, when they can get into fights with supporters of the other team. Then, they quietly go back to their little jobs the following Monday, as if nothing had happened, only looking forward to the next weekend when they'll be once again able to let loose all the violence and aggression that are in them. This is when you realise that they are nothing after all.
This song is definitly one of the best off fear of the dark
working hard to get to the top and getting to the top and then it ends all so fast you dont even know what happened
This song is definitly one of the best off fear of the dark
I first thought it was about someone hanging out with some kind of gang in the weekend and acting different then he normally does, but after seeing Green Street Hooligans, I know that thats what it's really about, awsome song :)
I interpreted as being a song about posers, in Rock N'Roll at least, nevertheless it is yet ANOTHER underrated Iron Maiden song, gotta love The Beast!
An an interview about this song, Steve Harris unfortunately said "it's about football hooligans, or the lack of them these days". I think he meant the lack is a good thing but it cam out wrong, poor Stevie. We know you wouldn't be like that, being a Hammers fan & all!
The SeventhOne, I never thought of it like that but I think you might've hit the nail on the head. Good explanation. Love this song.
