Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night
I saw a fire burning on
The palace lawn
Over the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion
[Chorus]
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
[Verse 2]
Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The palace door
Silent majority
Weren't keepin' quiet
Anymore
[Chorus]
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
[Verse 3]
Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The countryside
In the mornin'
Few were left to watch
The ashes die
[Chorus]
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
[Outro]
Why, why, why?
Effigy
