Lyrics:

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

I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on T.V.
I'm working out most everyday 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

Tell em boys

Here there and everywhere
Hip hip so hip to be square
Here there and everywhere
Hip Hip
