Whats The Frequency Kenneth
What's The Frequency, Kenneth?
R.E.M
"What's the frequency,
Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not
up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from
the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore
our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I'd studied your cartoons,
radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is
not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You
said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green,
uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
"What's the frequency,
Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rearview mirror,
dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said
that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green,
uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations
like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You said that irony was
the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You wore a shirt of
violent green, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
I never understood, don't
fuck with me, uh-huh
