What's the frequency, Kenneth
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb
I thought I'd pegged you, an idiot's dream
I couldn't understand
Doggin' the scene
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
Not up to speed
I couldn't understand
"Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
Music, TV, movies, magazines
I couldn't understand
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
Is your Benzedrine, uh-huh?
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
I never understood
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
Richard said,
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I'd studied your cartoons, radio
