Effigy Lyrics

Uncle Tupelo Effigy

Last night I saw a fire burnin' on
The palace lawn
O'er the land, humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion

Who we burnin'? Who we burnin'
In effigy?
Who we burnin'? Who we burnin'
In effigy?

Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to
The palace door
Silent majority weren't keepin' quiet
Anymore
Who we burnin'? Who we burnin'
In effigy?
Who we burnin'? Who we burnin'
In effigy?

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

Who we burnin'? Who we burnin'
In effigy?
Who we burnin'? Who we burnin'
In effigy?

Why? Why? Why?
