Verse

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 wanna change what don't need to change

Chorus

There goes the last DJ
who plays what he wants to play
and says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
There goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice  
There goes the last DJ

Verse

Well, some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
'cause you just can't do what he did
There's some things you just can't put in the minds of those 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

There goes the last DJ
who plays what he wants to play
and says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
There goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice  
There goes the last DJ
[Interlude] (radio sample part)
    
    
    

Verse

Well, he got him a station down in Mexico
and sometimes it'll kinda come in
and I'll bust a move and remember how it was back then

Chorus

There goes the last DJ
who plays what he wants to play
and says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
There goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice  
There goes the last DJ
