Effigy (from 'No Alternative' compilation Songtext
von Uncle Tupelo

Last night I saw a fire burnin′
On the palace lawn
O'er the land, the humble subjects watched
In mixed emotion

Who is burnin′? Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'? Who is burnin′?
Effigy

Last night I saw the fire spreadin′
To the palace door
Silent majority weren't keepin′
Quiet anymore


Who is burnin'? Who is burnin′?
Effigy
Who is burnin'? Who is burnin′?
Effigy

Last night I saw the fire spreadin'
To the country side
In the mornin' few were left
To watch the ashes die

Who is burnin′? Who is burnin′?
Effigy
Who is burnin'? Who is burnin′?
Effigy

Why? Why? Why?
Effigy
