John Hiatt Slug Line

I went to the marketplace They said they liked my face Better than a digital watch You got it, we're pros and we can spot it So I thought it was some disease But they were all on their knees Shakin' hands with my picture First we sterilize it Then we merchandise it Everybody tries Everybody buys it Well that's fine Put me on the slug line Punch a pretty hole in my mind Show me where to sign And put me on the slug line They told me how to behave Like any other public slave Keep a smile on the face of the consumer Or you'll become a rumor So I got a band of angry sons Now we're havin' so much fun Tearin' up the nation Weapons out of mic stands Bitin' on the glad hand They still don't understand That they were marketing a madman And that's fine Put me on the slug line Punch a pretty hole in my mind Show me where to sign And put me on the slug- Well that's fine Put me on the slug line Punch a pretty hole in my mind Show me where to sign And put me on the slug line You made one mistake You made me wait That's fine Put me on the slug line Punch a pretty hole in my mind Show me where to sign And put me on the slug- Well that's fine Put me on the slug line Couldn't lay a glove on my mind So show me where to sign And put me on the slug line
