Freddie's Dead (Theme from 'Superfly')

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?
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
