Heya FReepers. Having an interest in prog rock - specifically Dream Theater - Glenn caught my attention when he played part of a new Muse song today. It's called "Uprising" and here are the lyrics :
"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
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious
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 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
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious
(So come on)
Oi, oi, oi! Oi, oi, oi, oi! Oi, oi, oi, oi!
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious
Oi, oi, oi, oi!"
From their upcoming album, "Resistance"
The music of Muse has deep, conspiracy undertones (Assassin, Knights of Cydonia, Time is Running Out, etc). As one of my favorite bands, it doesn’t surprise me that their newest release follows the same lines. However, I am somewhat surprised at the fact that the lyrics can very well be adapted to what we are going through right now... that being the obviousness of the leftist takeover coming out of the woodwork and how an average citizen uprising can overthrow tyranny.
Muse might be the biggest band in the world. They’re much bigger in the UK and the rest of Europe than the US. Maybe this will be their big breakout album here. Hope so. There seems to be a lot of pre-release buzz.
The song is already available via amazon mp3 download and itunes music store.
Thanks for the YouTube link. It’s a great track - grows on you.
The paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume
They’ll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around
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
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
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
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
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
