Substitute

You think we look pretty good togetherYou think my shoes are made of leatherBut I'm a substitute for another guyI look pretty tall but my heels are highsimple things are all complicatedI look pretty young, I'm just back-dated, yeahSubstitute your lies for factI can see right through your plastic macI look all white, but my dad was blackMy Mohair suit is made out of sackI was born with a plastic spoon in my mouthThe north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing southAw you dare to look me in the eyeAnd crocodile tears are what you cryA genuine problem, only you won't tryI'll work it out somehow, it'll pass you bySubstitute me for himSubstitute my coke for ginSubstitute you for my mumAt least I'll get my washing done
