The music video was directed by Eric Fogel, showing the band performing as clay figures akin to the style of ''Celebrity Deathmatch''. Manson is dressed in the same outfit as he wore in the "[[Rock Is Dead]]" music video. The video begins as a standard performance by the band, but a pair of conjoined monkeys watching a TV with mechanical legs is then seen. The monkeys begin to run after the TV as it runs away from them, but later the TV runs after them, and eventually the monkeys' heads are replaced by a large television screen. The music video ends with the walking TV lying broken. | The music video was directed by Eric Fogel, showing the band performing as clay figures akin to the style of ''Celebrity Deathmatch''.
