Substitute Lyrics by The Litter

Distortions

0

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 see right through your plastic mask
I try going forth, but I keep walking back
My fine-made suit is really made out of sack
[Guitar solo]
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 backdated, yeah
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east wood faces 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 before my mum[?]
At least I'll get my washing done
Substitute your lies for fact
I 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
