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 PLAYIN' IT
REAL STRAIGHT
AND YES
I CUT MY HAIR
YOU MIGHT THINK
I'M CRAZY
BUT I DON'T EVEN CARE
'CAUSE I CAN TELL
WHAT'S GOIN' ON
IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE
IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE
I LIKE MY BANDS
IN BUSINESS SUITS
I WATCH 'EM ON TV
I'M WORKIN' OUT
MOST EVERY DAY
AND WATCHIN'
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 DENYIN' 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
EVERY DAY
AND THOSE THAT WERE
THE FARTHEST OUT
HAVE GONE
THE OTHER WAY
YOU SEE THEM
ON THE FREEWAY
IT DON'T LOOK LIKE
A LOTTA FUN
BUT DON'T YOU TRY
AND FIGHT IT
AN IDEA
WHOSE 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
TELL 'EM BOYS
HERE
THERE
AND EVERYWHERE
HIP HIP
SO HIP TO BE SQUARE
HERE
THERE
AND EVERYWHERE
HIP HIP
