Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

I used to be a renagade,
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.
It's hip to be square.

I like my bands in business suits.
I watch them on T.V.

I'm working out most every day.
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 it.
It's hip to be square.
It's hip to be square.

It's hip to be square.
It's hip to be square.

It's not too hard to figure out,
you see it every day.

And those that were the furthest out,
have gone the other way.

You see them on the freeway,
it dosen't look like fun to me.

But don't you go 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.
It's hip to be square.

Hip to be Square
