You think we look pretty good together                                                         

You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitue 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

   It's a substitute lies for fact                                                             

   I can see right through your plastic mad                                                    

   I look all white but my dad was black                                                       
   D       A             G               D                                                     
   My fine looking suit is really made of sack                                                 
                                                                                                
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth                                                    

Northside of my town faces east and northside faces south                                      
                                                                                               
And now you dare look me in the eye                                                            

But crocodile tears are what you cry                                                           

It's a genuine problem you won't try to work it all out                                        

Just pass it by pass it by                                                                      
                                                                                               
   Substitute me for him                                                                       

   Substitute my coke for gin                                                                  

   Substitute you for my mum                                                                    

   At least I'll get my washing done
