Somebody
once told me the world
is gonna roll me,
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
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 go.
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.
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 water's getting 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.
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.
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
chaaange.
Well, the years start coming
and they don't stop coming,
