Slug Line Lyrics - John Hiatt

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 

Photos 

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
