Freddie's Dead
Curtis Mayfield

Hey Hey - Love Love - Yeh Yeh - Ah Ha
Freddie's dead, thats what I said.
Let the man read, the plan, said it singing home
But his home was a rope and he should've known.
Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.
A terrible blow, but thats how it goes.
A Freddie's on the corner now.
If you wanna 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-Ha Ha-Love Love-He Hey-Ha Ha-Yeh Yeh
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.
I need a woman child.
Don't wanna be like Freddie now.
'Cause Freddie's dead
Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.
A Freddie's on the corner now.
If you wanna be a junkie why, remember Freddie's dead.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Freddie's dead
Hey Hey - Ha Ha - Love Love - Ha Ha
