REM - What's The Frequency, Kenneth? Lyrics
What's the frequency, KennethIs your Benzedrine, uh-huh?I was brain-dead, locked out, numbNot up to speedI thought I'd pegged you, an idiot's dreamTunnel vision from the outsider's screenI never understood the frequency, uh-huhYou wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huhI'd studied your cartoons, radioMusic, TV, movies, magazinesRichard said,"Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a toothYou said that irony was the shackles of youthYou wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huhI never understood the frequency, uh-huhWhat's the frequency, KennethIs your Benzedrine, uh-huh?Butterfly decal, rear-view mirrorDoggin' the sceneYou smile like the cartoon, tooth for a toothYou said that irony was the shackles of youthYou wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huhI never understood the frequency, uh-huhYou wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huhI couldn't understandYou said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huhI couldn't understandYou wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huhI couldn't understandI never understoodDon't ***** with me, uh-huh
