Muse – Uprising Lyrics

Muse · The Resistance

Alternative

Paranoia is in bloom
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)

Another promise, another scene
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)

Interchanging mind control
Come, let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)

This song is about the NWO. The government is going to keep taking us over until someone puts a stop to it.

I don't know what this song is about politically or historically. All I know is that I don't have to be afraid to stand up against social injustice. I listen to this song every morning on my way to work because it gives me the strength to deal with the psychotic power hungry manipulative deceiving and compulsive liar of a boss I have. After all is said and done, I will be victorious.

Its about how psychiatry is destroying people...the song is about becoming aware of the real threat..psychological warfare against the masses to keep them enslaved.

The lyrics to this song are obviously about a revolt, rising up against an oppressive government. "Rise up and take the power back, it's time the fat cats had a heart attack" How could they mean anything else?Don't overthink the song lyrics, people...if you open your mind, they're pretty obvious.

I'm sure the fat cats they are talking about are corporate fat cats, but it should mean fat cat politicians. In this country, we don't practice class warfare out of jealousy. You also can't have a real political revolution if government keeps advancing in the same direction it has been for the past 50 years. Clinton (nafta, china),Bush (patriot act, Illegal immigration) and Congress may have driven us off into a ditch, but that's better than Obama driving us off a cliff. The mind control they talk about is the politically correct media.Go Tea Party
