Rem Whats The Frequency Kenneth lyrics

`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, rear view 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
