Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (alternately styled Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) is an American rock band from Gainesville, Florida. Formed in 1976, the band originally comprised Tom Petty (lead singer, guitar), Mike Campbell (lead guitarist), Ron Blair (bass guitar), Stan Lynch (drums), and Benmont Tench (keyboards). The band largely maintained this lineup, with a few exceptions. In 1981, Blair, tired of the touring lifestyle, left the band. His replacement, Howie Epstein, stayed with the band for the next two decades. In 1991, Scott Thurston joined the band as a multi-instrumentalist—mostly on rhythm guitar and second keyboards.

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

There goes the last D J
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
There goes the last D J

Well some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
'Cause you just can't do what he did
There're 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?

There goes the last D J
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 D J

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

There goes the last D J
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 D J
