Smash Mouth – All Star

All Star lyrics

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

Back to the roots

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 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 ’til 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 ’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

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

Back to the roots

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 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
