Slug Line Lyrics by John Hiatt

Slug Line Lyrics

    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
