What is the song by muse about?

Answer 1

This is a possible meaning of the song Uprising by MUSE

The paranoia is in bloom, (The creation of enemies Insurance companies, Doctors, Companies are the enemy not government)

The PR transmissions will resume, (Major News outlets parrot the Governments line... Even the Comics in News like Stewart is silent these days.)

They'll try to push drugs to keep us all dumbed down, (Riddling. The dumbing down of Children in the corrupt Government schools. Reading us to become subjects to the state... Just look how many young voters voted for "Change")

And hope that we will never see the truth around, (That people should not trust there Government Ultimate power corrupts absolutely... Give the Government, Auto Companies, Insurance companies and Banks and now they want Healthcare..... The words you must fear is "I am from the government, and I am here to help you.)

Another promise, another seed, (President Bush Softcore Socialist, President Obama looking to finish the job.)

Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed, (TARP 1, TARP 2, Stimulus, the National debt our debt tripled by the FEDs and the Government.... All to keep the fat cats in line.)

With all the green belts wrapped around our minds, The Green Environmental Movement, Cap and Trade Kyoto, all treaties and ideas that will bring MORE Government Control to our Lives....

And endless red tape to keep the truth confined, (Regulations, more and more regulations, Taxes codes that make it that only 46% of Americans pay Taxes while the other half live off them and the Government. The Slavery returns, the irony those most recently freed will be the first to be shackled.)

Interchanging mind-control, (Republican, Democrat its all the same now, they all want one thing. Control.)

Come, let the revolution take its toll, The grassroots movements coming about rebellion against the Status que...

If you could flick a switch and open your third eye, (See the truth around you and realize you are voting away your liberties.)

You'd see that we should never be afraid to die, (Evil will always win when good men do nothing.... A Free citizen is a armed citizen, you should not be afraid to fight against any tyranny)

Rise up and take the power back, (Take the power back from the Federal Government and deliver into the hands of the people and their states as it is stated in the 9th and 10th Amendment)

It's time that the fat cats had a heart attack, (It is time that there are Term limits for Congress and Senators!

You know that their time's coming to an end, (The nation is volatile and in one year can swing from one side to the other... VA, NJ Governor races... People are tired of it all they want a change, the death of the Republicans and Democrats is near.)

We have to unify and watch our flag ascend! (He have to unify and we have to stand together, and end the Governments takeover of our lives!)

With this in mind, one muse realize that this is a European band, and was NOT written about the US, as everything is not evolved around this country. It was actually written a bout the G20 protest... But nice try

I, personally, think it's an anti-Communism song. Could just be a rebellious dong in general though. Not everything has to be so intricate, but it's cool when it is. You seem to know what you're talking about though, and you're right, not everything revolves around America and most Americans seem to be ignorant of that.
