All Star
► Smash mouth Lyrics

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
Someone once warned me that the universe will overpower me

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
I'm not the most intelligent individual

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb / In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
She appeared silly while holding her hand in an 'L' shape on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming / Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
As time passes, things continue to happen without a break, and I comply with the system and take immediate action

Didn't make sense not to live for fun / Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
It's irrational not to enjoy life, even though you become knowledgeable, your mentality stays unwise

So much to do, so much to see / So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
There is a plethora of things to experience, so why not explore the less-traveled roads?

You'll never know if you don't go / You'll never shine if you don't glow
You won't find out if you don't try / You won't succeed if you don't radiate positivity

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
You are amazing and should put forth your best effort to succeed / You are a superstar and should give a great performance in order to get paid / Although there may be many distractions, only the brightest of individuals will be successful

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder / You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
It is a nice environment, but people say it will get colder / You are bundled up now, but you haven't experienced how it will be when you are older

But the meteor men beg to differ / Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The experts don't agree / Based on the hole in the image taken from space

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin / The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
The ice we glide across is becoming delicate / The water is warming up, so why not dive into it?

My world's on fire, how about yours? / That's the way I like it and I never get bored
My life is intense, and what about you? / That's my preferred way of life, and I never experience boredom

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
Someone requested that I give them money for petrol / I need to exit this location / I responded positively because it is a great idea / I also require fuel, and we can all benefit from a minor alteration
