The music video, directed by Michael Moore, features a group of aliens, with the title card 'Aliens plot to conquer Earth!' followed by 'Launch the mutant now!', after which a number of clips showing the two presidential candidates at the time (George W. Bush and Al Gore for the 2000 US Presidential Election) stating the same policies and views on important issues, and the movie aims to highlight the lack of choice in the US electoral system. This is spoofed in the video as the images of Bush and Gore are morphed together, thereby creating a "mutant" that "appears as two but speaks as one."
