Somebody once told me the world was 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 looks smart but your head looks dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreet
You never know if you don't go
And 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
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 till you get older
But the media men beg to differ
Judging by the whole in the satelite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so we might as well swim
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
That's the way we like it, and we'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
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
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yup, 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 backstreet
You never know if you don't go
And 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
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
