The ones telling us every day to shut up, sit down and get down with the progressive landslide that is swallowing us up whole. I would add some republicans in there as well but since they aren't in power at this time and haven't really been in the last 3 years.I would say this anti-tyranny song is most likely directed at the current over-reaching, power grabbing, liberty destroying control whores currently running the show both here and abroad. I would think he is directing that towards the establishment fat cats (read as: barney frank/nancy pelosi/chris dodd/harry reid and yes even the chosen one himself). That kind of power and control over the citizens is the mainstay of large central government and the bubble-dwelling elitists that manipulate it. Regarding the fat cats line You could interpret as directed towards big business or capitalism but they are out for profits, not outright control over every detail of the peoples lives. I think this song is directed here (as is very trendy with UK and Aussie bands.at least when Bush was pres). I know that the UK has a long history of social control and tyranny and we are just now learning to love it here in the US. General CommentIt means that Muse is not a fan of tyranny or forced control into the collective (social justice) but rather believes that we must rise up to face it AND fight it, in the name of our personal liberty. We have to unify and watch our flag ascend You know that their time is coming to an end It's time the fat cats had a heart attack You'd see that we should never be afraid to die If you could flick a switch and open your third eye They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed downĪnd hope that we will never see the truth aroundĪnother packaged lie to keep us trapped in greedĪnd all the green belts wrapped around our mindsĪnd endless red tape to keep the truth confined
