Allstar
Smash Mouth Lyrics

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I was informed by someone that the universe will overpower me.

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
I lack intelligence.

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb. In the shape of an 'L' on her forehead
She appeared foolish as she formed an 'L' shape on her forehead with her thumb and index finger.

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
As time progresses, more and more changes and challenges appear.

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
I followed the established rules and immediately began working on my goals.

Didn't make sense not to live for fun
It seemed illogical not to enjoy life to the fullest.

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
As you gain knowledge, your ability to make sensible decisions may not necessarily improve.

So much to do, so much to see
There are endless possibilities to explore.

So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
Why avoid taking the less conventional path?

You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never experience the unknown until you embark on the journey.

You'll never shine if you don't glow
You'll never stand out if you don't display your unique qualities.

Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Congratulations, you're a top performer! Now, showcase your talent with passion and dedication.

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
Congratulations, you're now a successful musician! Display your skills and earn a living.

And all that glitters is gold
Everything that appears attractive may not necessarily be valuable or meaningful.

Only shooting stars break the mold
Only those who are truly unique and remarkable can bring about positive change.

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
This area is chilly, and some claim it will become even colder.

You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
You're well-prepared now, but aging will present new challenges.

But the meteor men beg to differ
However, experts hold a different opinion.

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
Based on evidence from the damaged satellite.

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The ice surface that we skate on is becoming less stable.

The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
The temperature of the water is increasing, so it's ideal for swimming.

My world's on fire, how about yours?
My life is intense and exciting, what's yours like?

That's the way I like it and I never get bored
I enjoy living life on the edge and never find it dull.

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
Someone requested if they could have some money to buy fuel.

I need to get myself away from this place
I need to escape this location and start anew.

I said yep what a concept
I replied in agreement, what an interesting idea.

I could use a little fuel myself
I could also benefit from some energy or motivation.

And we could all use a little change
All of us could benefit from a positive shift or new perspective.
