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 comin'
And they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules
And I hit the ground runnin'
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
takin' 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 meteor men
beg to differ
Judging by the hole
in the satellite picture
The ice we skate
is getting pretty thin
The water's gettin' 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
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 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 comin'
And they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules
And I hit the ground runnin'
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
takin' 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
And all that
glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
break the mold
