All Star Lyrics

Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me,
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
She was looking kinda dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In shape of an "L" on her forehead.

Well the years start coming
And they don't stop coming.
Bent to the rules and I hit the ground running.
Didn't make sense
Not to live for fun;
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.
So much to do,
So much to see,
So what's wrong with taking the back street?
You'll never know if you don't go.
You'll never shine if you don't glow.

Hey, now,
You're an All Star.
Get your game on. Go play.
Hey, now,
You're a Rock Star.
Get the show on. Get paid.
(And all that glitters is gold.)
Only shooting stars break the mold.

It's a cool place,
And they say it gets colder.
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older.
But the media men
Beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture.
The ice we skate
Is getting pretty thin.
The waters getting warm, so you might as well swim.
My world's on fire,
How about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored.

Hey, now,
You're an All Star.
Get your game on. Go play.
Hey, now,
You're a Rock Star.
Get the show on. Get paid.
(And all that glitters is gold.)
Only shooting stars break the mold.

Hey, now,
You're an All Star.
Get your game on. Go play.
Hey, now,
You're a Rock Star.
Get the show on. Get paid.
(And all that glitters is gold.)
Only shooting stars...

Somebody once asked,
"Could you spare
Some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place."
I said "Yep,
What a concept!
I could use
A little fuel myself,
And we could all use a little change."
Well the years start coming,
And they don't stop coming.
Bent to the rules and I hit the ground running.
Didn't make sense
Not to live for fun;
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.
So much to do,
So much to see,
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go. (Go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow.

Hey, now,
You're an All Star.
Get your game on. Go play.
Hey, now,
You're a Rock Star.
Get the show on. Get paid.
(And all that glitters is gold.)
Only shooting stars break the mold.
(And all that glitters is gold.)
Only shooting stars break the mold
