Uprising by MUSE



I think someone from MUSE has been reading The Hunger Games Series... Specifically, Catching Fire. Well, minus the angry teddy bears, that is. I'm so excited about this song that it pumps me up and makes me want to dance like Kevin Bacon in Footloose. I'll post the lyrics below just in case you didn't catch them all and you don't believe me that this is the perfect song for Catching Fire - the movie.

Muse - Uprising Lyrics


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

(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!)

Chorus

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

Chorus

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious
Hey .. hey … hey .. hey!(repeat)
Chorus

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious
Hey .. hey … hey .. hey!(repeat)

Great beat, and you're right, perfect song for Catching Fire the movie.

Funny, isn't Muse the "muse" for Stephenie Meyer? She credits them in all her books.

I agree! This is what I pictured... minus the bears. Unless that is what President Snow looks like...

We have a video to a MUSE song - we should try an up load it.

I wish that I have read the Hunger Games Series already! Sheesh! I'm a loser!

Muse will always and forever remind me of Stephanie Meyer and her weird love affair with them.

Good song, interesting video. Guaranteed I'm havin' nightmares of that Teddy with cat eyes and vampire fangs!!! Shoot!
