Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll ya
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the hits start coming and they don't stop coming
Head to the rules and ya hit the ground running
Didn't make sense just to live for fun,
You're brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with takin 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 shootin stars break the mold
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait till ya get older.
But the media men beg to differ
Judgin by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin
The water's gettin warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
Cuz that's the way i like it and 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,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin stars
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I guess 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 hits start coming and they don't stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense just to live for fun,
You're brain gets smart but the head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with takin 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 shootin stars break the mold
