The music video features businessmen apparently conspiring against the public. They observe a computer disk containing a graphic of a DNA molecule with a hazardous ligand. Meanwhile, a group of ants interfere with their computer equipment. A character, identified as a corporate executive president, gives a press conference with the help of a computerized prompter, but the ants' interference causes the prompter to say "I lied to you. We are the enemy", which the president reads.[1]
Release
The song peaked at number 42 in the UK,[2] number 35 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart[citation needed] and number 91 in Germany.[citation needed]
It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. A live version of the song is available on the Live at La Cigale EP.
