Lyrics:

This chameleon guy from a midwest town
He's come to the city, get his politics down
New age guru with all that entails
He's saving the planet, he's saving some whales

He says he's a painter, one day he directs
He's changing all the subjects from one hour to the next
With his fabulous new haircut, his 2-seater car
He takes it to the limit but he pushes too far

He's
Too hip, to be cool (2x)

So he'll take you out, to some trendy bar where
Some tie-dyed moron, all tatters in hair
Plays her one note solo to a crowd dressed in black
It's an inside job 'cause he slides in the back

And he comes on out as a rennaissance man
And though he can't spell it it's the reason he can
Bust right on out with some radical view
That he says is correct but that don't think that's true

Too hip, to be cool (4x)

Too hip to be cool
There's one in every town

Too hip, to be cool (4x)

Lala laddat da da (2x)
Bumpbon badt dant

So you take yourself out, with your fair weather friends
You gotta get real, no time to pretend
When you stick your next out, you can't get it back
You're so full of shit, they won't cut you no slack

And he's
Too hip, to be cool (8x)
