an effigy distorted

Metal band from Orlando, Florida. These guys formed in 2010, and haven't recorded ANYTHING until 2012. They, along with all of their fans, agree that they suck, yet they're still around and people (like me) still go to their shows for no good reason.
" hey you know that band An Effigy Distorted?"
" yeah i went to their last show, they sucked, can't wait for the next one!"

Effigy (I’m Not An) 

You are the only person I know
But I take you round to people who are on the go
Well you took me to a picture show
And what's the first thing I see
But them burning pictures of my head to toe, hey!
I'm not an effigy, no, no!
I asked you if you would be mad
If I packed my things and moved away to faraway land
Well I packed my things and I moved to this place
And what's the first thing I see
But them burning pictures of me in my face, hey!
I'm not an effigy, no, no!
Well I moved back from this faraway land
Walked right into a room with me mum and me dad
Well I saw my picture hanging on the wall
They tried to rip it and burn it
But it just withstood it all and I said hey!
I'm not an effigy
I'm not angry
I'm not an effigy... hey!
Well walking around this stinking town
I look up at the buildings and they get me down
Well I look to my left and then I look to my right
And then I realize they've been striking at me
Since the middle of last night, hey!
I'm not an effigy
