Hey, hey
Love, love
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ha

Freddie's dead, that's what I said
Let the man 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 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 up and abused him
Another junkie plan pushin' dope for the man
A terrible blow but that's how it goes
A Freddies 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
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 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

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Ha, ha
Love, love

Ha, ha
Ooh , hoo
Hey, hey
Love, love
Hey, hey
