2009 Iranian Election Uprising - Muse (with lyrics under "more info")

Peaceful Iranians protesting the fraudulent elections are confronted by the cold-hearted Islamic regime in Iran. To the soundtrack of "Uprising" by Muse.
Lyrics:
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

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

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 it's toll if you could
Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die

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

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

@gloriadefeo Whatever the Iranians INSIDE IRAN want - I don't care about the agenda of the "pro-shah, pro-mujaheddin, groups who want to take advantage of the pure demands of the Iranian people. If it's Mousavi, so be it. . . if it's Karroubi, so be it.

[gloriadefeo]

Revolution by and for the 70 million of youth/young in Iran! You have to do it and free your country! Take it back! No Mousavi No Mullahs No Regime

@wais910 The Basij were the ones hurting normal Iranians - Burning cars and starting fires was to protect the defenseless people from the tear gas being shot by the armed Basij forces. If the good for nothing government would allow the people to gather and not have the police and guards attack the people, it would have been peaceful. As far as Ashura goes, I was there. What would Imam Hossein do for his beliefs? We were walking the path of Imam Hossein not talking about it. Allaho Akbar.
