Substitute (The Who cover)

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 young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

(Substitute) your lies for fact

(Substitute) I can see right through your plastic mac

(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black

(Substitute) my fine linen suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south

And now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodilе tears are what you cry

It's a genuinе problem, you won't try

To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

(Substitute) me for him

(Substitute) my coke for gin

(Substitute) you for my mum

(Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done
