FREDDIE'S DEAD
Curtis Mayfield
Hey Hey - Love Love - Yeh Yeh - Ah Ha
Freddies 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 freddies on the corner now.
If you wanna be a junkie wow.
Remember freddies 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 freddies dead.
Hey Hey-Love Love-Ha Ha-Love Love-He Hey-Ha Ha-Yeh Yeh
Freddies 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 freddies dead
Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.
A freddies on the corner now.
If you wanna be a junkie why, remember freddies dead.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha freddies dead
Hey Hey - Ha Ha - Love Love - Ha Ha
