What's the frequency Kenneth

Is your benzedrine uh huh

I was braindead locked out

Numb not up to speed

I thought I'd pegged you

An idiot's dream

Tunnelvision from the

Outsider's screen



I never understood

The frequency uh huh

You wore our expectations

Like an armoured 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 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 armoured 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

the frequency uh huh
