Lyrics:

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
