Substitute by Ramones
Lyrics & Translation
English
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 facts.
I see right through your plastic mac.
I look all white but my dad was black.
My brand new 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.
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, 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.
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.
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
The North side of my town faced East and the 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, 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.
Substitute your lies for facts.
I see right through your plastic mac.
I look all white but my dad was black.
My brand new suit's really made out of sack.

Substitute (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Crees que nos vemos bastante bien juntos.
Crees que mis zapatos son de cuero.
Pero soy un sustituto de otro tipo.
Me veo bastante alto pero mis tacones son altos.
Las cosas simples que ves son todas complicadas.
Me veo bastante joven pero estoy anticuado, sí.
Sustituye tus mentiras por hechos.
Veo a través de tu impermeable de plástico.
Me veo todo blanco pero mi papá era negro.
Mi traje nuevo está realmente hecho de arpillera.
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 lo que lloras.
Es un problema genuino que no intentarás
resolver en absoluto, solo lo dejas pasar, lo dejas pasar.
Sustitúyeme por él.
Sustituye mi Coca-Cola por ginebra.
Sustitúyete por mi mamá,
al menos tendré mi ropa lavada.
