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
