All Star
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody once told me the world is 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 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 takin the backstreets
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 media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters 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

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

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

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 shooting stars break the mold

Line by Line Meaning

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
Someone once warned me that life would be tough


I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
I'm not the brightest person around


She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an 'L' on her forehead
She looked silly with her hand on her forehead in an 'L' shape


Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Time keeps moving forward and doesn't slow down


Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
I followed the rules and started working hard right away


Didn't make sense not to live for fun
It made no sense to not enjoy life


Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
You may become knowledgeable, but also forget common sense


So much to do so much to see
There is a lot to experience in life


So what's wrong with takin the backstreets
What's the harm in taking the less popular path?


You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never find out if you don't take a chance


You'll never shine if you don't glow
You will never reach your full potential if you don't put in any effort


Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Now that you've made it, show off your skills and play your game


Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
Now that you've made it big, put on a show and get your reward


(And all that glitters is gold)
(But remember that not everything that looks good actually is)


Only shooting stars break the mold
Only those who strive for greatness and stand out break the norm


It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
This place is nice now, but they predict it will soon get harsher


You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
You may feel safe now, but as you grow older you'll face more challenges


But the media men beg to differ
The media has a different opinion


Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
Evidence suggest otherwise, as seen in pictures from space


The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The situation is becoming risky


The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
It's getting easier, so take advantage of it


My world's on fire how about yours
I have a lot going on in my life, what about yours?


That's the way I like it and I never get bored
I prefer to stay busy and never feel uninterested


Somebody once asked, 'could I spare some change for gas
Once, someone asked me for money for fuel


I need to get myself away from this place'
They wanted to leave that place


I said yep what a concept
I agreed with them, it was a smart idea


I could use a little fuel myself
Just like them, I also need something to keep going


And we could all use a little change
Everyone could do with a little improvement


(And all that glitters is gold)
(But remember that not everything that looks good actually is)


Only shooting stars break the mold
Only those who strive for greatness and stand out break the norm
