Intro
Verse 1
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
Prechorus 1
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
Chorus 1
Subsitute lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mack
I look all white but my dad was black
My fine looking suit's really made out of sack
Verse 2
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east and the east was facin' south
Prechorus 2
And now you dare to look me in the eye
These 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
Chorus 2
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washin' done
Then for the solo I just play the verse a few times
