Hey, hey

Love, love

Yeah, yeah

Ah, ha

Freddie’s 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

Pushing dope for the man

A terrible blow

But that's how it goes

A Freddie’s on the corner now

If you want to 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

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah

Ha, ha

Love, love

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

Why I need a woman child

Don't want to be like Freddie now

Cause Freddie’s dead

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah

If you don't try

You're going to 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

Pushing dope for the man

A Freddie’s on the corner now

If you want to be a junkie, why

Remember Freddie’s dead

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Freddie’s dead

Hey, hey

Ha, ha

Love, love

Ha, ha...
