The music video features war as a sport involving two teams of soldiers fighting on a football field. Cheerleaders celebrate the violence as the fat cat politician screams for more violence. A lone protester, whose sickly appearance reflects his weak voice in society, is in the same stadium screaming at the events taking place.

The video was directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer and performed by the No Mercy Video Stunt Team.
