Freddie's Dead - Fishbone

Hey, yeah, hey, hey

Love, love, love, love, love

Yeah, yeah!

Say Freddie’s dead, huh!

That’s what I said

Let the ???

said he’d send him home

But his hope was a rope but 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

Freddie’s dead, huh!

That’s what I said

Everybody’s misused him

Ripped him off and abused him

Another junkie plan

Pushing dope for the man

A terrible blow but that’s how it goes

Freddie’s on the corner now

And if you want to be a junkie, wow!

Just remember

Freddie’s dead

We’re all built up with progress

But sometimes I must confess

You can deal with rockets and dreams

But reality, what does it mean?

Ain’t no damned thing said

'Cause Freddie’s dead

Hey, yeah, hey, hey

Love, love, love, love, love

Yeah, yeah!

Hey, yeah, hey, hey

Love, love, love, love, love

Yeah, yeah!

All I want is some peace of mind

With a little love I’m tryin' to find

This could be such a beautiful world

With a wonderful girl

I need a woman, child

Why can’t we brothers protect one another?

No one’s serious and it make furious

Freddie’s dead

Don’t be misled, just think of Fred

Don’t be misled, just think of Fred

Everybody’s misused him

Ripped him off and abused him

Another junkie plan

Pushing dope for the man

Freddie’s on the corner now

And if you want to be a junkie, wow!

Freddie’s dead

Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy!

Freddie’s dead, huh!
