effigy meaning

have heard it related to nuclear holocaust...any ideas on what he is referring to in terms of "effigy"?..usually means some type of representaion of a person(sculpture,picture,straw dummy,etc)

In the late 60's there were lot to do about cultural Afro-American black awerness of many streets revolution and within hood businesses & homes burning and it's communities spreading and etc. The song is about "Peace" and mostly "Love"

I know this thread is old as tots, but I decided to just look for a thread on the matter instead of making one...

Anyway, I heard that Effigy is about extraterrestrials and gray alien controversies. No?

It's about the USA's anti-Vietnam citizens burning the White House lawn. Tons of political imagery in the lyrics.
