Um, okay. I like this.  It has that octave-separation bass that hits me for some reason.  I think Client's "Lights Go Out" would be good after this - same type of rhythm.  I read "1984" in school, and promptly forgot it.  I guess I'll have to trot it out and re-read it, with Muse in the background. {#Dancingbanana}

It's actually about 1984 (the novel that is not the year...) see below somewhere...

Yeah, right:-

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around
(So come on!)

Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With 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

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 that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Hey .. hey ... hey .. hey!

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Looks anti-capitalist/facist to me...

I don't see them as bombastic, but more  of what we who are just sitting here ARE NOT. ..they have the guts and talent to get up and sing about what makes us turn a deaf ear, blind eye or lame hand.  More power to them! {#Bananajam}{#Motor} {#Bananapiano} {#Bananasplit}

Saw them in concert two weeks ago, they put on one heckuva show.  Love them or hate them, they are at the top of their game right now.  Sure the lyrics are humorous and the music bombastic, but they don't pretend to be anything but.

This song's message is what's making it rocket to the top, but the talent of these three is what makes it something we want to listen to.  Watching it live is another world.  .. a really rockin, loud and motivating sound. .. this world's rulers are very corrupt and the message here helps us tolerate living under such corruption —> because we can sing about it, move to it, move with others and enjoy complaining! :)

Until this morning, I hadn't heard this song on RP. Given how repetitive, monotonous, and dirge-like the song is, the resemblance to the Dr. Who theme song notwithstanding, I'd prefer to have remained unaware that it had intruded on better music. I will have to admit that it does sound slightly better coming out of the defective speakers I've connected to my computer than it does on the speakers at work where I hear it far too often.

I think I'll watch "Moulin Rouge" tonight...  this song reminds me just a bit of its version of "Roxanne," which I prefer.

I have to say you're on target.  There is a similarity with the good doctor's theme.

Muse = Mute.  

More of that kind of repetitive that I just can't handle.  Too simplistic or something.  And even though I hit mute within about 4 seconds, I already am battling it's awful earworm!
