Effigy (i'm not an)

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
