On August 7, 2009, "Uprising" was featured by right-wing United States radio host Glenn Beck on his nationally syndicated talk radio show. Beck, a fan of the band, pointed to the lyrics as a critique of large, invasive, and controlling fascist-style government. Beck offered the song as evidence that the United Kingdom and Europe were ahead of the United States in disillusionment with the growth of government.
haha I think it's great how Glenn Beck is taking their music seriously. I mean I'm not sure how much Matt believes in this kinda stuff I remember him saying in an interview 'well I don't really buy into all of it, but I'm certainly interested in that alternative way of thinking'.
