Hey, hey
Love, love
Yeah, yeah

Huh, huh

Freddie's dead

That's what I said
Let the man rap a plan; 'said he'd send him home
But his hope was a rope, and he should have known


It's hard to understand
There was 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 off and abused him
Another junkie playin'

Pushin' dope for the man
A terrible blow, but that's how it go
A Freddie's on the corner now

If you wanna 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

Huh, huh
Love, love
Yeah, yeah

Huh, huh
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
I need a woman child

Don't wanna be like Freddie now
'Cause Freddie's dead


Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
If you don't try

You're gonna 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

Pushin' dope for the man
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, why

Remember Freddie's dead
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Freddie's dead


Hey, hey
Huh, huh
Love, love
Huh, huh

Huh, huh
Hey, hey
Love, love
