Substitute - The Who Cover

Inspired by Pete's demo...I gave it a shot...low E tuned down to D

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 back-dated yeah....

Substitute, your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my daddy was black
My fine-looking suit's really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south

but 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 for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done
