Freddie's Dead

It's so 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 off and abused him Another junkie plan Pushin' dope for the man A terrible blow But that's how it goes A Freddie's on the corner now If you wanna be a junkie, well 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 Lord, Lord Hey, hey Yeah, yeah Ha, ha Lord, Lord 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 Ooh, 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 off and abused him Another junkie plan Pushin' dope for the man A Freddie's on the corner now If you wanna be a junkie, well Remember, Freddie's dead Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Freddie's dead Hey, Hey Ha, ha Lord, Lord Ha, ha Ooh, ooh Hey, hey Lord, Lord Hey, hey
