Music video

In the music video, the band members are in a desert-mud based set where people are digging in mud pits. The band are playing in a ditch where others are watching them. Close to the end of the video, what appears to be SWAT members appear and start to take control of the site. At the end of the video, the band's logos are shown on a stone-based plate. Some of the people who were digging are hosed down by the 'SWAT members'.

Throughout the video Jared Leto's face is rarely shown, due to the fact that during the production of the video, Leto was accidentally hit by guitarist Solon Bixler in the forehead, causing a huge lump with severe swelling. This can be seen if the video is carefully viewed.
