Lyrics:



{Verse 1}

Somebody once told me 

the world is gonna roll me

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 years start comin' 

and they don't stop comin'

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 takin' the backstreets?

You'll never know if ya don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow



{Chorus}

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



{Verse 2}

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

Judging by the hole in the satelite 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 bout yours?

That's the way I like it

and I'll never get bored



{Chorus}



{Interlude}

(Record scratches over "Go for the moon")



{Chorus 2}

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...



{Verse 2}

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 you're head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see 

So what's wrong with takin' the backstreets?

You'll never know if ya don't go

You'll never shine if ya don't glow



{Chorus 3}

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

And all that glitters is gold

Only shootin' stars break the mold
