you are the only person I know

but I take you round to people who are on the go

well you took me to a picture show

and what's the first thing I see

but them burning pictures of my head to toe, hey!



i'm not an effigy, no, no!



I asked you if you would be mad

if I packed my things and moved away to faraway land

well I packed my things and I moved to this place

and what's the first thing I see

but them burning pictures of me in my face, hey!



i'm not an effigy, no, no!



well I moved back from this faraway land

walked right into a room with me mum and me dad

well I saw my picture hanging on the wall

they tried to rip it and burn it

but it just withstood it all and I said hey!



i'm not an effigy



i'm not angry

i'm not an effigy... hey!



well walking around this stinking town

I look up at the buildings and they get me down

well I look to my left and then I look to my right

and then I realize they've been striking at me

since the middle of last night, hey!



i'm not an effigy
