Lyrics

Hey-yeah, hey, hey Love, love, love, love, love Yea-hi-yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Say Freddie's dead, uh That's what I said Let the man rap a plan instead that should've sent him home But his hope was a rope and he should have 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 other things Freddie's dead That's what I said Hey, everybody's misused him Ripped him off and abused him Another jughead plan Pushing dope for the man A terrible blow, but that's how it goes Freddie's on the corner now And if you wanna be a junkie, well... ah-ha Just remember... Freddie's dead We're all built up with progress But sometimes I must confess You can deal with rockets and dreams But reality, what does it mean? Ain't a damned thing said 'Cause Freddie's dead Hey-yeah, hey, hey Love, love, love, love, love Yea-hi-yeah Hey-yeah, hey, hey Love, love, love, love, love Yea-hi-yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey All I want is some peace of mind With a little love, I'm tryin' to find This could be such a beautiful world With a wonderful girl Oh, with I a woman 'n' child Why can't we b' brothers? Protect one another? No one's serious And it makes me furious Freddie's dead Don't be misled Just think of Fred Don't be misled-led-led-led-led Just think of Fred And, everybody's misused him Ripped him off and abused him Another jughead plan Pushing 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 Yea-hi-yea-hi-hi, Freddie's dead Wooh-wooh-wooh-wooh-wooh-woo... Freddie's dead Freddie, Freddie Freddie's dead, uh Fred-da-die...
