Freddie’s Dead

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey, hey Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Yeah, yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Freddie, Freddie's dead, uh 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've known [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Freddie's dead That's what I said, hey [Verse 2] Everybody's misused him Ripped him off and abused him Another jughead plan Pushin' dope for the man A terrible blow, but that's how it goes Freddie's on the corner now [Chorus] And if you wanna be a junkie, well Just remember, Freddie's dead [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] Ain't a damn thing said 'Cause Freddie's dead [Bridge] Hey, hey Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Yeah, yeah Hey, hey Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Yeah, yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, aha [Verse 4] 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, oh, I need a woman, child Why can't we brothers Protect one another? No one's serious And it makes me furious [Chorus] Freddie's dead, don't be misled Just think of Fred Don't be misled-led-led-led-led Just think of Fred [Verse 6] Everybody's misused him Ripped him off and abused him Another jughead plan Pushin' dope for the man Freddie's on the corner now And if you wanna be a junkie, well Freddie's dead Freddie, Freddie, Freddie, Freddie Freddie's dead Huh, huh, huh Freddie's dead Yeah, yeah Freddie's dead Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo Freddie's dead Freddie, Freddie Freddie's dead Uh
