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...
