about

"Obvious dance influences, but very influenced by reggae and The Clash dub styles, plus, obviously some rap. There's a radical message in the song, a sort of call to arms and protest song, rejecting the general oppressive nature of the government at the time —Northern Ireland, the Miners Strike, the Brixton riots —and calling on the people to rise up 'or the plastic bullets turn to lead.’ I’m not sure we would ever have managed to release it as a single at the time. I feel it is a song that is as relevant today as it was back then."
-Glenn

lyrics

You’re doing alright
You got my head on tight
You ain’t got no fight
But you gotta get smart
(Uprising)
Put your hands on your back
‘Cos the skin’s gone slack
As they put you on the rack
And they took your heart
(Uprising)
Don’t listen to the lies,
When you close your eyes
You can’t recognise
What they used you for
(Uprising)
Don’t listen to the bitch
She’ll take every stitch
Give it all to the rich
And then she’ll want more

(Chorus)
Rise up and get your pride back
Rise up see what you’re giving
Rise up and get your pride back
Rise up
(Repeat)

You can’t fight on the street
‘Cos they’re treading on your feet
And there’s no way you’re gonna beat them
When they shoot you dead
(Uprising)
You gotta speak to get them out,
You gotta use every shout
It’s the only way about
Or the plastic bullets turn to lead
(Uprising)
No martyr’s gonna save ya
From the suffering that they gave ya
It ain’t no servile behaviour
To stand up proud
(Uprising)
You’ve got to keep your mind steady
Don’t let your chest down to your belly
‘Cos when the time comes you gotta be ready
Too stand up and shout aloud

[repeat chorus til fade]
