Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me 
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 
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 

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder 
Youčre 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 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 

Chorus 

Chorus 

Somebody once asked could you 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
