A great song by Huey Lewis and the News that is one of the greatest messages of life. Huey Lewis and the News Hip To Be Square C E F I used to be a renegade, C E F I used to fool around C E F but I couldn't take the punishment, C E F and had to settle down. C Now I'm playing it real straight, E F G and yes I cut my hair C E you might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care F because I can tell what's going on: C E F It's hip to be a square C E F It's hip to be a square. C E F I like my bands in business suits, C E F I watch them on TV C E F I'm working out most everyday C E F and watching what I eat. C They tell me that it's good for me, E F G but I don't even care C E I know that it's crazy, I know that it's nowhere F but there is no denying that: C E F It's hip to be a square C E F It's hip to be a square C E F It's hip to be a square C E F So hip to be a square. C E F It's not too hard to figure out, C E F you see it everyday C E F and those that were the farthest out C E F have gone the other way C E F You see them on the freeway, C E F it don't look like a lot of fun C E F but don't you try to fight it; C E F "An idea who's time has come." C Don't tell me that I'm crazy, E F G Don't tell me I'm nowhere F take it from me: C E F It's hip to be a square C E F It's hip to be a square C E F It's hip to be a square C E F So hip to be a square. C E F Here, There, and everywhere! C E F G Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square! C E F Here, There, and everywhere! C E F G Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square! C E F Here, There, and everywhere! C E F G Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square! C E F Here, There, and everywhere! C E F G Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square! C E F Here, There, and everywhere! C E F G Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square! C E F Here, There, and everywhere! C E F G Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
