Substitute Lyrics

Substitute lyrics

You think we look pretty good together

You think my shoes are made of
leather

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 see right through your plastic Mac

(Substitute) I
look all white but my dad was black

(Substitute) My fine-looking suit's
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 was facing'
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, 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 washin' done



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 was facing' 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, 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
washin' done

(Substitute) Your lies for fact

(Substitute) I see right
through your plastic Mac

(Substitute) I look all white but my dad was
black

(Substitute) My fine-lookin' suit's really made out of sack
