What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
R.E.M. Song Lyrics
Artist: R.E.M.
Album: Monster (1994)

'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.
