Substitute Lyrics

[00:14.57] You think we look pretty good together
[00:22.66] You think my shoes are made of leather
[00:29.47] But I'm a substitute for another guy
[00:33.57] I look pretty tall, but my heels are high
[00:37.13] The simple things you see are all complicated
[00:40.90] I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated, yeah
[00:48.13] (Substitute) your lies for fact
[00:51.60] (Substitute) I see right through your plastic Mac
[00:55.22] (Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black
[00:59.23] (Substitute) my fine looking suit is really made out of sack
[01:06.55] I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
[01:13.14] The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
[01:19.71] And now you dare to look me in the eye
[01:23.46] Those crocodile tears are what you cry
[01:27.38] It's a genuine problem, you won't try
[01:31.36] To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by
[01:38.59] (Substitute) me for him
[01:42.57] (Substitute) my coke for gin
[01:45.95] (Substitute) you for my mum
[01:49.78] (Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done
[01:55.14]
[02:10.84] I'm a substitute for another guy
[02:14.32] I look pretty tall, but my heels are high
[02:18.12] The simple things you see are all complicated
[02:21.78] I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated, yeah
[02:29.69]
[02:46.67] I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
[02:54.94] The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
[03:01.16] And now you dare to look me in the eye
[03:05.05] Those crocodile tears are what you cry
[03:08.94] It's a genuine problem, you won't try
[03:12.40] To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by
[03:19.96] (Substitute) me for him
[03:23.91] (Substitute) my coke for gin
[03:27.57] (Substitute) you for my mum
[03:30.63] (Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done
[03:35.18] (Substitute) your lies for fact
[03:38.61] (Substitute) I see right through your plastic Mac
[03:42.04] (Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black
[03:46.02] (Substitute) my fine looking suit is really made out of sack
[03:50.91]
