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
