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
