Even better. Found this on mtv. Co. Uk. *Muse have revealed exclusively to mtv News the meaning behind their latest single Uprising. Lead singer Matt Bellamy explained: "The lead single, 'Uprising', was kind of inspired by the G20 protests which took place last year. I was in London at the time and I saw it all going on outside where I live." He added: "I sort of found that whole protest quite inspiring really; just the idea that people just having a good time, putting together a peaceful protest but the police still do their best to make it become violent and I find that quite aggravating. So, that's what the song's about." The Muse front-man went on to explain further: "There was a whole economic crisis and the MP scandal which took place last year where everyone felt like they were being ripped off by the powers that be." "I sort of wanted to write a song that summed up that feeling like you've been done over by people you're supposed to trust. That's kind of where the song's coming from really."*

*So when you say that both republicans and democrats have made big moves to deregulate the American economy, I agree. In this way, they are both adhering to the liberal philosophy (liberal in the sense of the free market) that the market runs best when it is left to its own devices. * I nearly choked reading this. Laissez faire does not equal liberal philosphy. The only reason Clinton allowed deregulation was because the "fat cats" were writing a pretty great chapter in the history books for him. Re tommholly: Any song with the lyrics "fat cats" cannot be anti-communist/Marxist (I will not put socialism with that as they may be similar in economic theory, they are not similar in means. Read some Marx and then try to equate it to socialism). If anything this song is about taking back control and favors Marxism: "Workers of the world unite and break your chains."
