All Star
90s allstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn′t make sense not to live for fun
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 but 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 about 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
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Instrumental
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
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
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin′ stars break the mold

He then speaks of a girl who was looking kind of dumb with her finger and thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead, which is a reference to the game "Loser."

He urges people to take the back streets, indicating that it's okay to take the road less traveled by.

The chorus repeats the lines "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," which means that everyone can be a star if they put in effort and believe in themselves.
