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 |
|
I can see right through your plastic mac |
|
I look all white, but my dad was black |
|
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 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 you just pass it by, pass it by |
|
Substitute me for him |
|
Substitute my coke for gin |
|
Substitute you for my mum |
|
At least I'll get my washing done |
