There are plenty of late nights   If you want to stay up for them   You'll just want to find yourself a friend   And tie a couple on in a night spot   Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot   For tears in your beer      It's hip to be miserable   When you're young and intellectual   In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit      Come on home with me   We'll turn on the TV   About 10 o'clock, we'll turn off the light   Not every man was born to stay up late at night      There are plenty of boats to catch   If you notice all the sails in the wind   But you better look hard my friend      In case you catch a ride on the wrong one   And you think you see the one you belong on   Oh, the water is wide      It's hip to be miserable   When you're young and intellectual   In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit      Come on home with me   We'll sit under a tree   And if you get the itch   I'll supply the scratch   Not every man was born with a boat to catch      It's hip to be miserable   When you're young and intellectual   In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit
