Lyrics

[00:13.319] Wha the frequency, Kenneth? is your Benzedrine uh-huh
[00:24.319] I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
[00:32.668] I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
[00:37.979] Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
[00:42.729] I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
[00:52.889] You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
[01:05.589] I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines
[01:16.990] Richard said, 'Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy'
[01:26.900] A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
[01:30.699] You said that irony was the shackles of youth
[01:35.699] You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
[01:45.819] I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
[02:21.798] 'What's the frequency, Kenneth?' is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
[02:31.628] Butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene
[02:40.628] You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
[02:46.238] You said that irony was the shackles of youth
[02:51.989] You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
[03:01.538] I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
[03:11.848] You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
[03:19.548] I couldn't understand
[03:21.948] You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
[03:29.708] I couldn't understand
[03:32.208] You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
[03:39.817] I couldn't understand
[03:42.368] I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh
