 '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 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, 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 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.
