Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Last DJ (Live At The Palace Of Auburn Hills, December 7, 2002)
[Verse 1]
Well, you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore
Well, the top brass don't like him talking so much
And he won't play what they say to play
And he don't want to change what don't need to change

[Chorus]
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ

[Verse 2]
Well, some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
Because you just can't do what he did
Thеre's some things you just can't put in the minds of thosе kids
As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see
How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free

[Chorus]
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
And there goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ
[Bridge]
Well, he got him a station down in Mexico
And sometimes it will kinda come in
And I'll bust a move and remember how it was back then

[Chorus]
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ
