"All Star" lyrics
(originally by Smash Mouth)
Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well
The years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed 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
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 water's 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'll 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
Somebody once asked
Could I 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
Fed 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
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
Only shooting stars break the mold
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well
The years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed 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
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

And I'll never get bored
Hey now

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Only shooting stars break the mold
