School of Rock movie - Substitute lyrics

rate me

Song by The Who<br /><br>

You think we look pretty good together<br>

You think my shoes are made of leather<br>

<br>

But I'm a substitute for another guy<br>

I look pretty tall but my heels are high<br>

The simple things you see are all complicated<br>

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

<br>

Substitute your lies for fact<br>

I can see right through your plastic mac<br>

I look all white, but my dad was black<br>

My fine looking suit is really made out of sack<br>

<br>

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth<br>

The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south<br>

And now you dare to look me in the eye<br>

Those crocodile tears are what you cry<br>

It's a genuine problem, you won't try<br>

To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by<br>

<br>

Substitute me for him<br>

Substitute my coke for gin<br>

Substitute you for my mum<br>

At least I'll get my washing done<br>

<br>
