Smash Mouth Lyrics
"All Star"

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kinda 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 media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
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 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 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
