Somebody once told me
  the world was 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 comin'
  and they don't stop comin'
  fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
  didn't make since 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 street?
  You never know if you don't go
  You 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 payed
    All that glitters is gold
  only shootin' stars break the mold
    It's a cool place
  and they say it gets colder
  Your bundles up now
  wait till you get older
    but the media man begs to differ
  judging by the light in the satilite picture
  the ice we skate, is gettin'
  pretty thin, the waters gettin warm
  so you might as well swim.
  My worlds 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 payed
    All that glitters is gold
  only shootin' stars break the mold
    ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
  ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
  ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding..
    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 payed
    All that glitters is gold
  only shootin' stars break the mold
    Somebody once asked "can I spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place."
  I said " Yep, what a concept, I can use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change"
    Well, the years start comin'
  and they don't stop comin'
  fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
  didn't make since not to live for fun
