Uprising
●Muse Lyrics

The paranoia is in bloom, the P-R
People are becoming paranoid and the media is pushing it (P-R) further.

Transmissions will resume
The media will keep broadcasting their agenda.

They'll try to push drugs
The establishment will try to keep people passive.

That keep us all dumbed down and hope that
They want to keep people ignorant so they can't see the truth.

We will never see the truth around
The media wants us to be oblivious to the truth.

(So come on)
Encouraging us to resist these machinations.

Another promise, another scene,
Politicians make more promises, but people still don't get what they deserve.

Another package lie to keep us trapped in greed
People are being manipulated into being greedy and remain in subservience.

With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
People are in chains and slaves to their never-ending workdays.

And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
People are suppressed by rules and regulations, which prevents them from knowing the truth.

(So come on)
Encouraging us to take control of our own lives.

They will not force us
They are not able to dictate to us how to live our lives anymore.

They will stop degrading us
The authorities will not insult us and drag us down any longer.

They will not control us
The established order will no longer suppress us.

We will be victorious
We will overcome these negative oppressions.

(So come on)
Encouraging us to take control of the situation and stand up for ourselves.

Interchanging mind control
The establishment is playing with our minds and trying to manipulate our thoughts.

Come let the revolution take its toll if you could
The revolution would transform society and make the world a better place.

Flick a switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
If you could think beyond what you've been taught, you'd understand the truth.

We should never be afraid to die
We should be willing to fight against oppression and not be afraid of consequences.

(So come on)
Encouraging us to take action and fight against those who would try to control us.

Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
It's time to stand up against the corrupt elite.

The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
The rich and powerful will crumble under the weight of their own schemes and corruption.

Their time is coming to an end
The corrupt leaders will soon face their demise.

We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
We must come together and support each other to create a better future.

(So come on)
Encouraging us to stand up to the power that tries to hold us down.

Hey, hey, hey, hey
A sound of triumph.

Hey, hey, hey, hey
A sound of victory.

Hey, hey, hey, hey
A sound of deliverance.

They will not force us
The establishment will not be able to control us any longer.

They will stop degrading us
The authorities will stop keeping us down.

They will not control us
The established order will no longer have power over us.

We will be victorious
We will overcome the oppressors.

(So come on)
Encouraging us to stand up and fight.
