Freddie’s Dead Songtext
von Fishbone

Hey-yeah, hey, hey
Love, love, love, love, love
Yea-hi-yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Say Freddie′s dead, uh
That's what I said

Let the man rap a plan instead that should′ve sent 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 other things

Freddie′s dead
That′s what I said


Hey, everybody's misused him
Ripped him off and abused him
Another jughead plan
Pushing dope for the man
A terrible blow, but that′s how it goes
Freddie's on the corner now

And if you wanna be a junkie, well... ah-ha
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 a damned thing said
'Cause Freddie's dead

Hey-yeah, hey, hey
Love, love, love, love, love
Yea-hi-yeah

Hey-yeah, hey, hey
Love, love, love, love, love
Yea-hi-yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


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
Oh, with I a woman 'n′ child

Why can't we b′ brothers?
Protect one another?
No one's serious
And it makes me furious

Freddie′s dead
Don't be misled
Just think of Fred
Don't be misled-led-led-led-led
Just think of Fred

And, everybody′s misused him
Ripped him off and abused him
Another jughead plan
Pushing 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
Yea-hi-yea-hi-hi, Freddie′s dead
Wooh-wooh-wooh-wooh-wooh-woo...
Freddie's dead
Freddie, Freddie
Freddie′s dead, uh
Fred-da-die...
