Smash Mouth- All Star

source: CD cover booklet from Sharon (CrNk4FLipZ@AOL.com)

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

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 the glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now wait 'til you get older
But the meteor man begs to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
But 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 never get bored

Chorus

Chorus

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
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Chorus
