Rock Star

Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin' kind of 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',
back to the rules so I hit the ground runnin',
didn't make sense just 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 ya 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!
All that glitters is gold,
Only shootin' stars break the mold!

It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder,
You're bundled up now, wait till ya get older.
But the media men beg to differ,
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture.

The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin,
the water's gettin' warm so ya 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 shootin' 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 shootin' 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
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 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!
All that glitters is gold!
Only shootin' stars break the mold!
