Freddie's 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 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?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/curtis+mayfield/freddies+dead+theme+from+superfly_20960685.html ]
Ain't nothing said
'Cause Freddie's dead

Hey, hey
Love, love
Ha, ha
Love, love
Hey, hey
Ha, ha
Yeah, yeah
Freddie's 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 Freddie's dead

Everybody's misused him
Ripped him up and abused him
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man

A Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, why
Remember Freddie's dead

Freddie's dead
