Gym Class Heroes Lyrics for Song: Shoot Down The Stars
 Lyrics for Album: As Cruel As School Children [2006]
 
 
 
 30190>'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
 
 A sad day for aspiring artist
 
 Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
 
 Diggin' graves for aspiring artist
 
 Pushing daises up
 
 
 
 And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
 
 Shit on since the first show
 
 But we turned feces to fertilizer
 
 So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
 
 
 
 Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
 
 Too young to drive
 
 But live hip hop
 
 And the kids are upstate kids
 
 That thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
 
 
 
 Got name for playing basements and such
 
 And making songs that our friends loved
 
 And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
 
 We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
 
 
 
 So take a step back
 
 And a breath in
 
 Let it out now
 
 Put your chin up
 
 You can do it tiger
 
 You a man now
 
 And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
 
 
 
 So break ourselves down
 
 And build ourselves up in disappointment
 
 How fragile we are
 
 So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 
 We'll shake up this town
 
 And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 
 So sexy we are
 
 So sexy we are, we just don't know it
 
 
 
 This is what you wanted right?
 
 How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?
 
 How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?
 
 How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
 
 My point exactly
 
 But you knew you had a spark, didn't you?
 
 Something conducive to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
 
 Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
 
 Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence
 
 Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
 
 You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
 
 Just do your thing man
 
 
 
 So take a step back
 
 And a breath in
 
 Let it out now
 
 Put your chin up
 
 You can do it tiger
 
 You a man now
 
 And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
 
 
 
 So take a step back
 
 And a breath in
 
 Let it out now
 
 Put your chin up
 
 You can do it tiger
 
 You a man now
 
 And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
 
 
 
 So break ourselves down
 
 And build ourselves up in disappointment
 
 How fragile we are
 
 So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 
 We'll shake up this town
 
 And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 
 So sexy we are
 
 So sexy we are, we just don't know it
 
 
 
 We break ourselves down
 
 And build ourselves up in disappointment
 
 How fragile we are
 
 So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 
 We shake up this town
 
 And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 
 So sexy we are
 
 So sexy we are, we just don't know it
 
 
 
 So take a step back
 
 And a breath in
 
 Let it out now
 
 Put your chin up
 
 You can do it tiger
 
 You a man now
 
 And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
 
 
 
 So break ourselves down
 
 And build ourselves up in disappointment
 
 How fragile we are
 
 So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 
 Shake up this town
 
 And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 
 So sexy we are
 
 So sexy we are, we just don't know it
