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 mould

It's a cool place and
They say it gets colder
You're bundled up now
Wait till 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 about yours
That's the way I like it an
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

All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Break the mould

Go for the whole sep
Go for the whole sep
Go for the whole sep
Go, go, go, go
For the whole sep

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 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 mould

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Break the mould
