What's The Frequency Kenneth

A--------- D ----------- Bm ----------G ----------- A ----------- D -- A --G
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
A---------- D------- Bm ------- G -------- A ----- D -- Bm -- E
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
G-----------------A----------G---------------A-
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen

D ---- A ----- D --- G --- A--- A --- G--- A---
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh--
D ---- A ----- D --- G --- A--- A --- G--- A---D
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

A--------- D ----------- Bm ----------G ----------- A ----------- D -- A --G
I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines
A---------- D------- Bm ------- G -------- A ----- D -- Bm -- E
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"

G----------------A-----------G-----------A
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth You said that irony was the shackles of youth
D ---- A ----- D --- G --- A--- A --- G--- A---
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
D ---- A ----- D --- G --- A--- A --- G--- A---
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
