"Whatīs the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought Iīd pegged you an idiotīs dream
Tunnel vision from the outsiderīs screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh Iīd 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 "Whatīs 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 couldnīt understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldnīt understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldnīt understand
I never understood, donīt fuck with me, uh-huh
