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 lies for fact
I can see right thro' yourplastic 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 faceing 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 mum At least I get my washing done
