r.e.m. - what's the frequency, kenneth? - live in chicago / 1995 lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
what?

[verse 1]
“what’s the frequency, kenneth?” is your benzedrine, ah-ha
i was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
i thought i’d pegged you idiot’s dream
tunnel vision from the outsider’s screen

[chorus]
i never understood the frequency, uh-huh
you wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

[verse 2]
i’d studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines
richard said, “withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy”
you smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
you said that irony was the shackles of youth

[chorus]
you wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
i never understood the frequency, uh-huh
a-ha

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
what!
“what’s the frequency, kenneth?” is your benzedrine, uh-huh
b-tterfly decal, rear-view mirror, d-gg-ng the scene
you smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
you said that irony was the shackles of youth

[chorus]
you wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
a-ha
i never understood the frequency, uh-huh
a-ha
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 violent green, uh-huh
i couldn’t understand
i never understood, don’t f-ck with me, uh-huh
