All Star
Chunk! No Captain Chunk! 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
[Chorus]
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 never get bored
[Chorus x2]
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
[Chorus x2]

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
Someone informed me that life will be tough
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
I'm not very intelligent
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
She seemed foolish and made an L-shape on her forehead with her fingers
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Time goes by and the pressures of life keep piling up
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
It's illogical not to enjoy life, even though you may become wiser
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
There are many experiences to enjoy, even if it's not the most popular or mainstream option
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
You won't know what you're capable of unless you try, and you need to let your own unique qualities shine through
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've achieved success, now it's your time to shine and profit, but don't forget about unique people who stand out
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
The world can be a fascinating but unpredictable place, so prepare for changes throughout life
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
If we listen to the evidence, meteorologists may not always be correct
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 never get bored
The world is changing, but that's okay because it keeps life interesting and entertaining for me
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 asked for money, and I realized that I need some change too, not just financially but also in my life

I feel like this song perfectly fits them. They did an excellent job at not butchering it like some of the other covers. In my opinion this is the best cover and the fact that they made a music video, even more awesome.
