You are the only person I know I keep you round the people that are on the go Well, you took me to a picture show The first thing I see is them burning pictures of me, head to toe
I'm not an effigy Oh, no
I asked you if you would be mad If I packed my bags and moved away to faraway lands I packed my bags, moved to this place The first thing I see is them burning pictures of me and my face
I'm not an effigy I'm not an effigy
When I came back from this faraway land I walked into a room with my mom and my dad I saw my picture hanging on the wall They tried to rip it and burn it but it just withstood it all
Ooh, I'm not an effigy
I'm not angry I'm not angry I'm not an effigy
Walking around in this stupid town Look up at the buildings and they bring me down I look to the left and I look to the right I realize you'll be striking at me my whole life
