Substitute |
You think we look pretty good together |
You think my shoes are made of leather |
But I’m a substitute for another guy |
I look pretty tall but my heels are high |
The simple things you see are all complicated |
I look pretty young, but I’m just back-dated, Yeah |
Substitute your lies for fact |
(Substitute) I can see right through your plastic mac |
(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black |
(Substitute) my fine looking suit is really made out of sack |
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth |
The north side of my town faced east, and the east faces south |
And now you dare to look me in the eye |
Those crocodile tears are what you cry |
It’s a genuine problem that you won’t try |
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by |
Substitute me for him |
(Substitute) my coke for gin |
(Substitute) you for my mum |
(Substitute) at least I’ll get my washing done |
But I’m a substitute for another guy |
I look pretty tall but my heels are high |
The simple things you see are all complicated |
I look pretty young, but I’m just back-dated, yeah |
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth |
The north side of my town faced east, And the east faces south |
And now you dare to look me in the eye |
Those crocodile tears are what you cry |
It’s a genuine problem, you won’t try |
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by |
Substitute your lies for fact |
(Substitute) I can see right through your plastic mac |
(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black |
(Substitute) my fine looking suit is really made out of sack |
Substitute me for him |
(Substitute) my coke for gin |
(Substitute) you for my mum |
(Substitute) at least I’ll get my washing done |
