freddie's dead

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

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

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

huh huh

love

love

hey

hey

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

why i need a woman child

don't wanna be like freddie now

'cause freddie's dead

everybody's misused him

ripped him off and abused him

another junkie playin'

pushin' dope for the man

freddie's on the corner now

if you wanna be a junkie

wow

remember

freddie's dead

huh huh
