Muse – United States of Eurasia/Collateral Damage Lyrics 16 years ago
From an article in Melbourne's The Age newspaper:

(Bellamy) says it seeks to explore the perception of the "megalomaniacal" foreign policy-makers who he believes view the world as a chessboard to be manoeuvred, without care for the innocent lives of those caught up in it all. "People can listen to Eurasia and, depending on your mood, they will find it funny or a complex political statement. It's subjective. Sometimes it makes me laugh....how bold and ridiculous it is. But I also think of my intention when I wrote it."

The article also say that he re-read 1984 during the album's making.

Muse – Uprising Lyrics 16 years ago
From an article in The Age newspaper:

Bellamy was inspired to write it after witnessing the G20 protests taking place in London. "I saw these people dressing up in silly costumes and having quite a laugh. But at the same time, it was very serious. They were protesting about various problems happening around the world. I was struck by the wearing of funny costumes and the dancing in the street. So the song begins calling for a revolution but it's not fists in the air; it's more run into the house of parliament and do a fart or something".

Faith No More – Everything's Ruined Lyrics 16 years ago
I've always thought it was about one of those corporate types growing up greedy and getting found out in the end. Russia never entered my mind! That interpretation still doesn't seem very likely to me.
