[Verse 1]
DmThe paranoia is in bloom, the PR
GmThe transmissions Fwill resume
They'll try to Apush drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
GmWe will never see the Ftruth around, so come onDm  
DmAnother promise, another scene, another
GmA package not to keep us Ftrapped in greed
AWith all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless Gmred tape to keep the Ftruth confined, so come onDm  
[Chorus]
DmThey will not Gmforce Fus
AThey will stop deGmgrading Fus
DmThey will not conGmtrol Fus
AWe will be viGmctoriFous, so come onDm  
[Verse 2]
DmInterchanging mind control
Come let the Gmrevolution Ftake it's toll if you could
AFlick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
GmWe should never be aFfraid to die, so come onDm  
DmRise up and take the power back, it's time that
GmThe fat cats had a Fheart attack, you know that
ATheir time is coming to an end
We have to Gmunify and watch our Fflag ascend, so come onDm  
[Chorus]
DmThey will not Gmforce Fus
AThey will stop deGmgrading Fus
DmThey will not conGmtrol Fus
AWe will be viGmctoriFous, so come onDm  
[Solo] (x3)
DmHey! Hey!
GmHey! FHey!
A Gm F
[Chorus]
DmThey will not Gmforce Fus
AThey will stop deGmgrading Fus
DmThey will not conGmtrol Fus
AWe will be viGmctoriFous, so come onDm

The story behind the song

"Uprising" captures a feeling of widespread discontent and the need for change, as described by the songwriter. This track, from their 2009 album The Resistance, is known for its alternative, space, and glam rock sound, drawing inspiration from Goldfrapp and 70s/80s glam rock. The band intentionally crafted a "real" rhythm section, aiming for a bass sound that almost mimicked a synthesizer but was played authentically. At its heart, it plays like a call to action against oppressive forces.
