Smash Mouth - All - hey now you're an All Star get your game on!

Smash Mouth - All Star

Smash Mouth have indeed been around for quite a while now and they don't seem to change over the years musically and lyrically. The song All Star was their ticket to fame and glory and still receives airplay all around the world. The song was also featured as a soundtrack of the movies Mystery Men and  Shrek, the latter turned out to be a major success 2 years after the song was released in 1999 and brought it back in people's minds. It is really sad that the song made it to number 2 on the Billboard however never reached the top spot. Time for you guys to give it up for Smash mouth! Have a good listen. :)

Lyrics:

"All Star"

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

[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 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'll never get bored

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

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

[Repeat Chorus]
