What's The Frequency, Kenneth? Lyrics - In Time: The Best Of Rem 1988-2003 - Rem

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh 

I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed 

I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream 

Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen 

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh 

You wore our expectations like an armored 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, rear-view 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 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, don't fuck with me, uh-huh
