[Intro]

Hey, hey

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Yeah, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Freddie, Freddie's dead, uh

That's what I said

Let the man rap a plan, said he'd send him home

But his hope was a rope and he should've known

[Verse 1]

It's hard to understand

There was love in this man

I'm sure all would agree

That his misery was his woman and things

[Chorus]

Freddie's dead

That's what I said, hey

[Verse 2]

Everybody's misused him

Ripped him off and abused him

Another jughead plan

Pushin' dope for the man

A terrible blow, but that's how it goes

Freddie's on the corner now

[Chorus]

And if you wanna be a junkie, well

Just remember, Freddie's dead

[Verse 3]

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?

[Chorus]

Ain't a damn thing said

'Cause Freddie's dead

[Bridge]

Hey, hey

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Yeah, yeah

Hey, hey

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Yeah, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, aha

[Verse 4]

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, oh, I need a woman, child

Why can't we brothers

Protect one another?

No one's serious

And it makes me furious

[Chorus]

Freddie's dead, don't be misled

Just think of Fred

Don't be misled-led-led-led-led

Just think of Fred

[Verse 6]

Everybody's misused him

Ripped him off and abused him

Another jughead plan

Pushin' 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

Yeah, yeah

Freddie's dead

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo

Freddie's dead

Freddie, Freddie

Freddie's dead

Uh
