r.e.m. – what’s the frequency, kenneth? – live in dublin / 2005 lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
“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 insider’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”
a smile like a 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

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
“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
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 f+ck with me, uh+huh

[outro, spoken]
thank you
