All Star Lyrics - Counting Crows

(Starting Verse) 

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. Well she was lookin' kind of dumb with her finger in her thumb and the shape of an L on her forehead...... 

Well the years start comin' and they don't stop comin', back to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'. 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... 

(chorus) 

Hey now your an allstar, get your game on go play. Hey now your a rockstar get your show on, get paid. (and all that glitter is gold) 

Only shooting stars break the mould. 

Its a cool place and they say it gets colder, your bundled up now, wait till ya get older. But the media man begs to differ judging by the hole in the satelitte picture. The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin, the waters gettin warm so you might as well swim. My world's on fire, how about yours. thats the way I like it and I'll never get bored...... 

(chorus) 

(Music) 

Hey now your an allstar get your game on, go play, hey now your a rockstar, get your show on, get paid. (and all that glitter 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 comin' and they don't stop comin'. Back to the rules and I hit the ground runnin. 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 whats wrong with takin' the backstreets. You'll never know if you don't go(GO!), you'll never shine if you don't glow.... 

(Chorus) 

(and all that glitter is gold) only shooting stars break the mold, (and all that glitter is gold) only shooting stars break the mooooold!
