LYRICS (official)
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!
