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 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 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 your's

That's the way I like it

And I'll 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 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 Backstreet

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
