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 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 backstreets?
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 meteor 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 ’bout 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
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break
the mold
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
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
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 backstreets?
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
