Muse – Uprising Lyrics

Muse · The Resistance

Rock

Paranoia is in bloom
The PR
Transmissions will resume
They'll try to

Push drugs to keep us all dumbed down

And hope that
We will never see the truth around
Another promise
Another scene

Another
Packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the
Green belts wrapped around our minds

An endless
Red tape to keep the truth confined
(-fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, fined, fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined, -fined)
They

Will

Not
Force us
They
Will

Stop

Degrading us
They
Will
Not

Control us
And we
Will

Be
Victorious
Interchanging
Mind control

Come let the
Revolution take its toll
If you could
Flick a switch and open your third eye
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the
Fat cat's had a heart attack
You know that
Their time's coming to an end
We have to
Unify and watch our flag ascend
(-scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend, -scend)
They
Will
Not
Force us
They
Will
Stop
Degrading us
They
Will
Not
Control us
And we
Will
Be
Victorious
(Victorious)
(Victorious)
Victorious
Victorious
Victorious

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
