I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
But I couldnt take the punishment, and had to settle down
Now Im playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
You might think Im crazy, but I dont even care
Because I can tell whats going on
Its hip to be square

I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on tv
Im working out most everyday and watching what I eat
They tell me that its good for me, but I dont even car
I know that its crazy
I know that its nowhere
But there is no denying that
Its hip to be square

Its 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 dont look like a lot of fun
But dont you try to fight it; an idea whos time [bad word] 

Dont tell me that Im crazy
Dont tell me Im nowhere
Take it from me
Its hip to be square
