The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQPJYnr48yU&ob=av3e music video], directed by Samuel Bayer, features a twisted reenactment of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]], portraying Kennedy, is seen with Coma White waving to his fans who are clearing way for the car. Halfway through the video Manson is shot, and eventually lays his head on Coma White's lap, dying. In the scenes following Manson is seen nailed to a wooden crucifix, similar to Jesus Christ, and is carried past the onlooking fans in the street. | The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQPJYnr48yU&ob=av3e music video], directed by Samuel Bayer, features a twisted reenactment of the assassination of John F.
