I think this should be the ATS theme song! - Muse "Uprising"

This just about sums up my thoughts on what needs to happen to fix the World.



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 takes 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
They 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

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

No argument from me!!

I have actually adopted it as my "new" National Anthem!

Yup a personal fave of mine, I play it when the world seems against me and then I bounce right back at em after listening to it
I agree If ATS had a theme tune this would be it.

Fits us perfectly!

I like it. And I think it fits. Good idea.

Perhaps we could have a vote on it ...
have people give other ideas and we can vote on them.

But this song ... I think it fits.

i've been thinking about this song lately and what forces the creation of such a powerful message in the form of art.

it's essentially a blueprint of this eras zeitgeist and what we've failed to prevent

This one is good too

Pity ATS would have to pay mega bucks to be able to get this as an official theme tune.....I wonder If any of the band are members and reading this...If so do whats right

Matt Bellamy the singer from Muse is a big fan of Alex Jones, so he probably reads ATS regularly

I saw your user name and thought for a second Hooray !!!

Brilliant tune even before you read the lyrics which are soooooo very fitting for today. It really is a great revolutionary and unifying song.

Nice

Have always thought my counties motto apt for ATS, which translates into "We Won't driven" (like sheep) en.wikipedia.org...

I'm pretty sick of muse. I can only take bellamy's voice in small doses these days. It's always so overly dramatic. And their chord progressions are too littered with suspended chords.

but yeah, it's a pretty cool song

Whilst I agree with the original choice.....

I was brought up on the protest song's of Billy Bragg...who has sung his way through the social issue's of the last 30 year's.
So a personal choice for me would be his updated version of "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward."

Although not the most powerful verse in the song I do like....

"The world wide web is wonderful if you've got something to sell
But opinions often summon up a focus group from Hell
Well it's best not to be distracted, stay focused on your goals
And take my advice – don’t feed the trolls"

Love Muse and that is a great song, but

Here is a true ATS artist/rapper, it is a little long and bear with it if you don't like rap, he's really on point with the majority of ATS:

Great lyrics, but I cannot stand the sound of Muse... Do you think we can get a cover band. Or somthing without mathiew bellamy or whatever his name is...

I get slated a lot for being a fan.....but I love the fact he has been an activist for a long time now and hasn't spent a career of pure lip service!

Negative !

Can't really go wrong with Godsmack. The lyrics to Speak just don't hit my soul. They do however make me want to party and bang my head like. I want a revolution, we can party when we take back control of our Governments.
