You can't turn him [F#m] into a company [Bm] man.
You can't [A] turn him [D] into a whore.
[Bm] And the boys upstairs [F#m] just don't understand [D]
anymore.
Well [Bm] the top brass don't [F#m] like him talking so much [Bm] and he won't [A] play when they say to [D] play.
[Bm] And he don't want to [A] change what [D] don't need to change.
And there [Bm] goes the last [F#m] DJ [Bm] who plays what he wants [F#m] to play [Bm]

[Bm] There's some things you just [F#m] can't put in your mouth to [D] those kids.
[Bm] As we celebrate [F#m] mediocrity [Bm] all the boys [A] upstairs [D] wanna see [Bm] how much you'll pay [A] for what you used to get [D] for free.

Congratulations.
How's that going?
It's going terrific.
I married a lovely gal and it's just wonderful.
And how are the heartbreakers?
Are they actually still breaking hearts?
More than we can afford really.
Why is that difficult to believe?
They're still breaking hearts and there goes another house in the valley.
But yeah I'd say so.
And we're touring now.
We're talking to Jennifer Love Hewitt about her tour.
But you guys when you tour, that's a real thing isn't it?
Yeah well it seems pretty real.
And do you ever think to yourself, boy I've just been in one too many of these things one too many times and let's don't do this again?
Or is it invigorating?
You know lately I enjoy it more than ever.
I'm having a wonderful time doing it.
I have had those moments where what am I doing?
And I'm sure you've had a few of those moments.
About ten minutes ago.
Anyway it's good to have more music from this gentleman Tom Petty.
The last DJ is the name of the CD.
Thank you Tom.
