Freddie's Dead

Freddie's dead, that's what I said

He 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' **** for the man

A terrible blow but that's how it go

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

Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him

Another junkie plan, pushin' **** for the man

Freddie's on the corner now, if you wanna be a junkie, wow

Remember, Freddie's dead

Hey, hey, mama, mama

Ooh, we, ooh, we, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah

Wah wah, wah wah, ta ta, ta ta

Hey, no, oh, no, don't go, don't go

Mama, mama, 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?

I don't wanna be like Freddie now 'cause Freddie's dead

Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him

Another junkie plan, pushin' **** for the man

Freddie's on the corner now

If you wanna be a junkie, you don't wanna be a junkie

You don't have to be a junkie, you don't wanna be a junkie

Remember, Freddie's dead

Hey, hey, mama, mama

Wah wah, wah wah, ta ta, ta ta

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' **** for the man

Freddie's on the corner now if you wanna be a junkie, wow

Remember, Freddie's dead

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Love, love, love, love, love

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

No, no, Freddie
