The band Muse, Closet libertarians? Go buy their album The Restistance, seriously go buy it.

On September 15th, Muse will be releasing their latest album The Resistance featuring 11 new tracks, three of which are part of a symphony written by singer Matthew Bellamy. The songs, as usual, are conspiracy driven, galaxy-influenced, and catchy as hell.

Only two of the tracks have been released thus far, “United States of Eurasia” and “Uprising”. The radio-released “Uprising” has some lyrics that might catch the American eye. It’s interesting that this song (even this album) was released during these times. Taking a look at the lyrics can show us that the artists are secretly Ron Paul-loving Libertarians. Just as Ron Paul has stated time and again that Washington has been putting up the colloquial red tape to hide financial information from us, the lyrics to Uprising go, “and endless red tape to keep the truth confined.” And while our Wall Street “fat cats” sit fat, dumb, and happy with their government paychecks, Muse sings, “it’s time that the fat cats had a heart attack,” and we must “unify and watch our flag ascend.”
