You think we look pretty good together And ya think my shoes are made of leather But when I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high Simple things you look are complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah! Substitute your lies for fact I can see through your plastic mac I look pretty white, but dad was black My fine looking 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 Crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't get a try To work it out at all you just pass it by Substitute your lies for fact I can see through your plastic mac I look pretty white, but dad was black My fine looking suit is really made out of sack Substitute I'm a substitute Ahhhhh
