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
