Effigy

Creedence Clearwater Revival


(J. Fogerty)

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

Why?
Why?
Why?
Effigy
