The simple things you see are all complicated

I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah (= LINK)

        your lies for fact
(Substitute)

I see right through your plastic mac

The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
 
 
[Bridge]
           [ Em ]

Those crocodile tears are what you cry
