...there goes the last dj...

Artist:
Celebrating the wonderful way that ClearChannel Radio brings us all the music they think we should hear.
there goes the last human voice
there goes the last dj
well some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
because 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
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
where did you go mr. d.j.?
did they take you off the air?
was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs?
it wasn't the pressure,
you never sounded down.
it couldn't be the ratings,
you had the best in town.
somehow i'm gonna find ya, track you down.
gonna keep on searchin',
around and around and 'round and 'round...
can you hear me (around the dial)
are you listenin' (around the dial)
are you out there (around the dial)
can you hear me?
around the dial.
i am the entertainer
i come to do my show
you've heard my latest record
it's been on the radio
ah, it took me years to write it
they were the best years of my life
it was a beautiful song
but it ran too long
if you're gonna have a hit
you gotta make it fit
so they cut it down to 3:05
do you remember murray the k,
alan freed, and high energy
it's the end, the end of the 70's.
it's the end, the end of the century.
do you remember lying in bed
with your covers pulled up over your head?
radio playin' so low, one can see.
we need change, we need it fast
before rock's just part of the past.
'cause lately it all sound the same to me...
some of my friends sit around every evening
and they worry about the times ahead
but everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
and the promise of an early bed
you either shut up or get cut up, they don't wanna hear about it
it's only inches on the reel-to-reel
and the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel
radio is a sound salvation
radio is cleaning up the nation
they say you better listen to the voice of reason
but they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
so you had better do as you are told
you better listen to the radio
wonderful radio
marvelous radio
wonderful radio
radio, radio
