Lyrics of
Uprising

Uprising by Muse addresses themes of resistance and struggle against political and economic oppression. It was inspired by global events at the time, including the 2008 economic crisis and protests against corporate greed.

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around, so come on
Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With 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 it's 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 that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is 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
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious, so come on
