Lyrics
Hey, hey
Love, love
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ha
Freddie's dead, that's what I said
Let the rap a plan said he'd see him home
But his hope was a rope and he should've known
It's hard to understand that there's love in this man
I'm sure all would agree that his misery was his woman and things
Now Freddie's dead, that's what I said
Everybody's misused him
Ripped him up and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushing dope for the man
A terrible blow but that's how it goes
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you want to be a junkie, wow
Remember Freddie's dead
We're all built up with progress
But sometimes I must confess
We can deal with rockets and dreams
But reality, what does it mean?
Ain't nothing said
'Cause Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Love, love
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
Ha, ha
Love, love
Yeah, yeah
Ha, ha
Yeah, yeah
Freddie's dead
All I want is some peace of mind
With a little love, I'm trying to find
This could be such a beautiful world
With a wonderful girl
Why I need a woman child
Don't want to be like Freddie now
'Cause Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
If you don't try
You're going to die
Why can't we brothers
Protect one another
No one's serious
And it makes me furious
Don't be misled
Just think of Fred
Everybody's misused him
Ripped him up and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushing dope for the man
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you want to be a junkie, why
Remember Freddie's dead
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Ha, ha
Love, love
Ha, ha
Huh, huh
Ha, ha
Love, love
Ha, ha
