You'll never know if ya 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 shootin' stars break the mold {Verse 2} It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now wait till ya get older But the media men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satelite picture The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin The water's gettin' warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire How bout yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored {Chorus} {Interlude} (Record scratches over "Go for the moon") {Chorus 2} 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 shootin' stars break the... {Verse 2} 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 comin' and they don't stop comin' Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin' Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but you're head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with takin' the backstreets? You'll never know if ya don't go You'll never shine if ya don't glow {Chorus 3} 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 shootin' stars break the mold And all that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold
