Uprising [Album Version] Lyrics

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 seed
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
And they will stop degrading us
And they will not control us
And we will be victorious
(So come on)

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
(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 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
And we will be victorious
(So come on)

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

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

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Cover art for Uprising [Album Version] lyrics by Muse

To my idea, this song is about governments, keep a lot of things top secret so their folks do not find out their plans, because they would be shocked.

They come up with various tricks to "keep us all dumbed down and hope that we will never see the truth around". So they are all actually lying.

In the second verse, it gets time for the population to rise up, no matter what, even if it means death (we should not be afraid to die), starting a revolution or something certain, and that the 'fat cats gets a heart attack', litterly, that they get taken down and the secrets get leaked.
