Freddie`s Dead (single Edit) Lyrics

Hey, hey...

Love, love...

Yeah, yeah...

Uh huh...

Freddie's dead.

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 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 things.

Now Freddie's dead.

That's what I said...

Everybody's misused
him; ripped him off and abused him.

Another junkie playin'; pushin' dope
for the man.

A terrible blow, but that's how it go...

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...

Hey, hey...

Yeah, yeah...

Huh
huh...

Love, love...

Yeah, yeah...

Huh huh...

Yeah,
yeah...
