Effigy - Lyrics - Uncle Tupelo
Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band owing to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco.

Last night, I saw the fire burning on the palace lawn
O'er the land, the humble subjects watched in mixed emotion
Who we burning? Who we burning?
Effigy
Who we burning? Who we burning?
Effigy
Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the palace door
Silent majority weren't keeping quiet anymore
Who we burning? Who we burning?
Effigy
Who we burning? Who we burning?
Effigy
Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the country side
In the morning, few were left to watch the ashes die
Who we burning? Who we burning?
Effigy
Who we burning? Who we burning?
Effigy
Why? Why? Why?
Effigy
