Karaoké What's the Frequency, Kenneth? R.E.M.

What's the frequency Kenneth is your Benzedrine, oh ho

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

I never understood the frequency, ah ha

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, ah ha

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, ah ha

I never understood the frequency, ah ha

What's the frequency Kenneth is your Benzedrine, ah ha

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, ah ha

I never understood the frequency, ah ha

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, ah ha

I couldn't understand

You said that irony was the shackles of youth, ah ha

I couldn't understand

You wore a shirt of violent green, ah ha

I couldn't understand

I never understood the frequency, ah ha
