Music video

The video for the song is a satirical parody of senior members of the U.S. government. The clip begins with a number of government-issue black SUVs screeching to a halt before Secret Service agents secure the area. A character similar in appearance to President George W. Bush then exits one of the SUVs and goes jogging around the town, wearing a grey singlet top and blue boxer shorts. The video mocks Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina as the character runs past a drinks stand marked "Disaster Relief," where he grabs a bottle of water and pours it all over himself. Rising fuel prices are also satirized, as the Bush character runs past a gas station, and sticks the number 10 over the original price of $3.07. The character then engages in an aerobics session with two other suit-wearing characters similar in appearances to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Vice President Dick Cheney. The Cheney character is also depicted driving around the town on a segway, chasing young people away from an unemployment office into a military recruitment office, where a sign in the window reads "See Iraq!" Finally, Cheney's heart condition is mocked towards the end of the video when his character collapses and paramedics attempt to revive him using a defibrillator. Also parodied is NSA warrantless surveillance; the George W. Bush character tugging on the cord of a payphone, dragging an NSA agent out of the bushes behind the phone.
