Good Legion Superhero covers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, cry but I just need Shoemaker
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it

It's the Persuader your legs give way, heads hit the ground
Highest paid killer, can't run away, he chops me down
Kesel's the inker, you got the best, it'll all work out
Save it for later, don't trade away and let me down, don't let me down

Mallor and Memories, you couldn't lose
But what did Grev choose?
I don't know what I'm meant to buy from all of you lot
Sometimes I don't try
I just, "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na"
(One, two, three, four)

It's the Persuader, your legs give way, heads hit the ground
Save it for later, you buy today and keep around
Sooner or later you'll post the art, you'll get found out
Show the Shoemaker, he draws away, won't let me down, won't let me down
You post away, your fun art days, won't let me down

This is fun to see because I clearly remember Shoemaker making his debut at Marvel, but had assumed that was how he broke in. Never realized he first broke in with DC on Legion. I also love seeing mid 80's Karl Kesel inks, as he was so good even early on and went on to be a really great inker.
