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.
