Hey, hey
|
Love, love
|
Yeah, yeah
|
Ah, ha
|
Freddies 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
|
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 freddies 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 freddies dead
|
|
Hey, hey
|
Love, love
|
Hey, hey
|
Yeah, yeah
|
Ha, ha
|
Love, love
|
Yeah, yeah
|
Ha, ha
|
Yeah, yeah
|
Freddies 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 freddies 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 freddies on the corner now
|
If you wanna be a junkie, why
|
Remember freddies dead
|
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
|
Freddies dead
|
Hey, hey
|
Ha, ha
|
Love, love
|
Ha, ha...
