In the mornin' few were left to watch The ashes die Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy Why? Why? Why? Effigy
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
Translation: Creedence Clearwater Revival. Effigy.
