lyrics

You are the only person I know
I get you round to people who are on the go
Well you took me to a picture show
And what's the first thing that I see
Them burning pictures of me head to toe, hey!

I'm not an effigy, no, no!

I asked you if you would be mad
If I packed up all my things and moved to faraway land
Well I packed my things and moved to this place
And what's the first thing that I see
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 my room with me mom 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, no, no!

(Me mom and me dad)

I'm not angry, no I'm not angry
I'm not an effigy, hey!

Walking around this stinking town
I look up at the buildings and they get me down
Well I look to my left and 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, no, no!
I'm not an effigy, no, no!
I'm not an effigy, no, no!
I'm not an effigy, no, no!

(Me mom and me dad)
