Substitute

In the style of

The Who

Lyrics

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
backdated yeah

substitute
your lies for fact
i see right through
your plastic mac

i look all white
but my dad was black
my fine-looking suit
is really made
outta sack

i was born
with a plastic spoon
in my mouth
the north side of
my town faced east
and the east
was facin' 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
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
backdated yeah

i was born
with a plastic spoon
in my mouth
the north side of
my town faced east
and the east
was facin' 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
at least i'll get
my washin' done

substitute
your lies for fact
i see right through
your plastic mac

i look all white
but my dad was black
my fine-looking suit
is really
made outta sack
