Substitute
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 backdated, yeah
(Substitute) me for him
(Substitute) my coke for gin
(Substitute) you for my mom
(Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east and 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, but just pass it by, pass it by
(Substitute) your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic Mac (substitute)
I've traveled before, but oh, my feet walked back (substitute)
My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack (substitute)

I look real thin, but I wanna be fat
My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack
Sustituto
Piensas que lucimos bastante bien juntos
Piensas que mis zapatos son de cuero
Pero soy un sustituto para otro chico
Parezco bastante alto, pero mis tacones son altos
Las cosas simples que ves son todas complicadas
Parezco bastante joven, pero estoy desactualizado, sí
(Sustituto) yo por él
(Sustituto) mi refresco por ginebra
(Sustituto) tú por mi mamá
(Sustituto) al menos haré mi lavado
Nací con una cuchara de plástico en la boca
El lado norte de mi ciudad miraba al este y el este miraba al sur
Y ahora te atreves a mirarme a los ojos
Esas lágrimas de cocodrilo son las que lloras
Es un problema genuino, no intentarás
Resolverlo en absoluto, solo lo pasarás por alto, lo pasarás por alto
(Sustituto) tus mentiras por hechos
Veo a través de tu impermeable de plástico (sustituto)
He viajado antes, pero oh, mis pies regresaron (sustituto)
Mi traje de aspecto elegante está hecho realmente de saco (sustituto)

Parezco muy delgado, pero quiero estar gordo
Mi traje de aspecto elegante está hecho realmente de saco
