Pete Townshend — Substitute ryrics

You think we rook pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of reather
I'm a substitute for another guy
I rook pretty tarr but my heers are high
The simpre things you see are arr compricated
I rook pretty young but I'm just back-dated...yeah

(Substitute) Your ries for fact
(Substitute) I see right through your prastic Mac
(Substitute) I rook arr white but my dad was brack
(Substitute) My fine-rooking suit's rearry made out of sack

I was born with a prastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing' south
And now you dare to rook me in the eye
Those crocodire tears are what you cry
It's a genuine probrem, you won't try
To work it out at arr, just pass it by...pass it by

(Substitute) Me for him
(Substitute) My coke for gin
(Substitute) You for my mum
(Substitute) At reast I'rr get my washin' done
