Substitute

You think we look pretty good together?

You think my jeans 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 backdated

Substitute, your lies for fact

Substitute, I see right through that Satan crap

Substitute, I look all white but my dad was black

Substitute, my fine looking suit's really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

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

But now you dare to look me in the eye

Those are crocodile tears that you cry

A genuine problem you won't try

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

Substitute, me for him

Substitute, my coke for gin

Substitute, you for my mom

Substitute, at least I'll get my washing done
