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 good,
but I'm just
back dated yeah
(Substitute)
your lies for fact
I can see right thro'
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
North side of my town
faced east, and the east
was facing south
And now you dare to
look me in the eye
But crocodile tears
are what you cry
If 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 mun
At least I get
my washing done
I'm a substitute
for another guy
