Freddie's Dead (Theme from 'Superfly') - Curtis Mayfield

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
