All Star

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
But I don't care about what they said
I was looking kind of fun with my finger and my thumb
Hanging loose all day with my friends

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 with imagination

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets? (Nothing!)
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow (whoo!)

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, don't wait
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Well, it's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate, it's getting pretty thin
The water's warm, so you might as well swim
My world's on fire (ah!) How about yours? (On fire!)
Wait, wait, wait, that's a metaphor (ah, hoo!)

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, don't wait
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Knowledge, progress, strength
And we stand in need of all three
This is a breathtaking pace
In an hour of change (go for the moon)
The greater our knowledge increases
The greater our ignorance unfolds (go, go for the moon)
Some would have us stay where we are
(Go, go, go for the moon)

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, don't wait
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars

Somebody once asked, "Could you spare some change for gas
I've got to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yup, 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 with imagination

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets? (Nothing!)
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow (whoo!)

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, don't wait
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold (for the moon)

All that glitter is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
