With Sympathy

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
