Somebody once told me the world is gonna owe me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the she'd

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 mold

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 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 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
