I used to be
a renegade
I used to
fool around
But I couldn't take
the punishment
and had to
settle down
Now I'm playing
it real straight
and yes I
cut my hair
You might think
I'm crazy
but I don't
even care
Because I can tell
what's going on
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
I like my bands
in business suits
I watch them on TV
I'm working out
most every day and
watching what I eat
They tell me that
it's good for me
but I don't even care
I know that
it's crazy
I know that
it's nowhere
But there is
no denying that
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
It's not too hard
to figure out
You see it everyday
And those that were
the farthest out have
gone the other way
You see them
on the freeway
It don't look like
a lot of fun
But don't you try
to fight it
An idea who's
time has come
Don't tell me
that I'm crazy
Don't tell me
I'm nowhere
Take it from me
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
Here there
and everywhere
Hip hip so
hip to be square
Here there
and everywhere
Hip hip
Here there
and everywhere
Hip hip so
hip to be square
Here there
and everywhere
Hip hip
Here there
and everywhere
