The Last DJ Lyrics
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
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
And 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 wanna see
How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free
(Chorus)
Well he got a new station down in Mexico
And some times it will kinda come in
And I'll bust a move
And remember how it was back then
(Chorus)
