Litter, The - Substitute lyrics

You think we look pretty good together

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 you see are all complicated

I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact

I can see right through your plastic mask

I try going forward but I keep walking back

My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

Well 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 back-dated, yeah

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

Those crocodile tears are what you cry

It's a genuine problem, you won't try

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

Substitute me for him

Substitute my coke for gin

Substitute you before my mum

At least I'll get my washing done

Substitute your lies for fact

I can see right through your plastic mask

I try going forth but I keep walking back

My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
