- All Star - Smash Out
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 comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go (W-w-wacko)
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 shootin' stars break the mold
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, 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 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
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
(All that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold
Go for the moon (W-w-wacko, w-w-wacko)
Go for the moon (W-w-wacko, w-w-wacko)
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
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…
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 your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go (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 shootin' stars break the mold
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold
- Notas: La canción fue escrita en un momento en el que el correo físico en papel
estaba aun en auge, y el grupo recibía cientos de cartas de sus fans. Leyendo
estas cartas vieron que una gran parte de sus seguidores eran el tipo de gente
joven que sufría algún tipo de bullying, abuso o burla por parte de sus
compañeros, y por ello decidieron dedicarles a ellos esta canción. Asi pues, es
un himno que busca que esta gente se sienta bien consigo misma y descubran su
propia grandeza personal e individual.
- 2. “…Fed…”
= Participio pasado del
verbo “to feed”, se puede usar para hablar de “echar a alguien a las fieras”,
solo que en la canción es él a quien echan para que se lo coman, pero no las
fieras sino las normas de la sociedad. En cierto sentido es como si lo hubieran
sacrificado por el bien de las normas sociales o la concordia (al ser un ser
discordante con sus ideas que no se ajustan a las convenciones sociales).

3. “…all that glitters is gold…”
= Es una variación del dicho “no es oro todo lo que
reluce”. Aquí se le da la vuelta para indicar a sus seguidores que ellos tienen
su brillo propio porque en el fondo son estrellas también.
- 4. “…shootin'
stars …” = Son las estrellas fugaces.
Porque el inglés nivel Tarzán ya no abre puertas. (Vocabulario para nivel C1 y C2)
