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.
