At first, I thought this song was political and simply anti-authoritarian because of this verse :
"You will do anything they say
They will have power over you
You will not question their authority
You know what they can do"
But then, if you pay attention to the whole song, I think it has more to do with stardom and being signed on a major label. Especially when you look at the very last verse :
"I bet you never did expect
To have a big important name
They all will have exquisite taste
But everyone will look the same
You will be quickly photographed
You will be shot from every side
They'll teach you what you need to learn
Then they will take you for a ride "
What they are describing here is who stardom ends up ruining your freedom. Although there is a double meaning to the sentence "you will be shot from every side", I believe the first meaning is that of a photo shot, not a gun shot.
With this interpretation in mind, the rest of the song is pretty self-explanatory and makes sense.
"The last goodbye" would then refer to leaving and signing to an underground label.
But it could be in any kind of job where stardom is possible really... And that includes modeling agency. So TdyYrLove's interpretation could be possible too.

@foaLtaeM My bad... I meant "HOW stardom ends up ruining your freedom" not "who..."
