| == Information == | | == Description == |
| The first song on ''[[The Resistance (album)|The Resistance]]'', as well as the first single. Described as a "heavy rock take on Goldfrapp" in Mojo magazine, and features football-style chanting. Matt Bellamy describes it as a protest song about the banking situation.<ref>{{cite/mojo200907}}</ref> In the 25th July issue of NME Magazine, Uprising was described as "singing, over a Marilyn Manson-style electro-glam stomp."

| [[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]] said:
| |
| :"The title of the album relates strongly to the first two tracks [the other being [[Resistance (song)|Resistance]]]. Uprising has the protest thing going on. I think that the whole song is about having a massive mistrust for people in power, whether it be government, or bankers. We're living in a society where we're being told to keep quiet, to just accept things as they are."<ref>FHM - "Muse:The Resistance - Album number five and Muse have lost the plot in the best possible way"</ref>
| |
| | |
| [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] said:
| |
| :"This song is influenced by glam rock, 80s synths, riots and the more eccentric protesters at the recent G2O protests. It expresses a general mistrust of bankers, global corporations, and politicians."<ref>iTunes LP - The Resistance</ref>

| It placed highly on the Triple J hottest 100, at 9th.
| |
|
| |
|
| Sometimes when played live, the solo is repeated at the end of the final chorus. It is called "Extended Version" or "Riff Version" on the setlists.

| |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
| |
| They will stop degrading us
| |
| They will not control us
| |
| We will be victorious
| |
| (So come on)
| |
| | |
| 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 the fat cats had a heart attack
| |
| You know that their time's 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
| |
| We will be victorious
| |
| (So come on)
| |
| | |
| Oi, 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
| |
| (So come on)

| | |
| Oi, oi, oi, oi!
