Lyrics:

“Substitute” is an original song by the British rock band The Who released in March 1966.
Here the Sex Pistols cover the song conveying it to a punk version and swithcing up the lyrics too.
You think that we look pretty good together
And 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 are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I see right through your wanker's mac
Look great in white, but your dad is Black
My mohair suit was made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of town faced east
And the east was facing south

And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, only you won't try
To work it out somehow, it'll pass you by

Substitute your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic mac
I look great in white, but my dad is Black
My mohair suit was made out of sack


Substitute and that's a fact
I see right through a plastic mac
I look great in white, but my dad is Black
My mohair suit was made out of sack

Substitute
I'm substitute
I'm substitute
I'm substitute
