Effigy - Ministry

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
