'what's the frequency, kenneth? ' is your benzedrine, uh-huh<br>I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed<br>I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream<br>Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen<br>I never understood the frequency, uh-huh<br>You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh<br><br>I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines<br>Richard said, 'withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy'<br>A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth<br>You said that irony was the shackles of youth<br>You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh<br>I never understood the frequency, uh-huh<br><br>'what's the frequency, kenneth? ' is your benzedrine, uh-huh<br>Butterfly decal, rear view mirror, dogging the scene<br>You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth<br>You said that irony was the shackles of youth<br>You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh<br>I never understood the frequency, uh-huh<br>You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh<br>I couldn't understand<br>You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh<br>I couldn't understand<br>You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh<br>I couldn't understand<br>I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh
