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 Cause I can tell whats 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 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.
Dont tell me that I'm crazy Dont tell me I'm nowhere Take it from me Its hip to be square! Its hip to be square! Its hip to be square! So hip to be square! (Tell them, boys! Hip, hip and everywhere Hip, hip, so hip to be square)
