What's 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 Doggin' 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
