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 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 (I'm not an effigy)
I'm not an effigy, I'm not an effigy
I'm not an effigy, I'm not an effigy
I'm not an effigy, I'm not an effigy
I'm not an effigy, I'm not an effigy
I'm not an effigy, I'm not an effigy
I'm not an effigy, I'm not an effigy
I'm not an effigy!
