The music video of the song was directed by W.I.Z. The video's cast includes actress Rosario Dawson and Michel Brown, and depicts a Mexican conflict between government and Zapatista Army of National Liberation, a revolutionary group that appeared during the 1990s. Then is revealed to be an advertisement for a fictional Coca-Cola-type beverage. The camera pans out to reveal it being displayed in an electronic shop, before the storefront is smashed in and the video ends with shaky night-time footage of violent urban riots, shot on handheld cameras.
