At the beginning of the video, an aerial shot of the band shows them sitting in a hospital-like room next to an old man who seems to be dying lying in a hospital bed (with a giant painted cross underneath it) connected to a drip. The main part of the video is set outside in a landscape which was said to be based on the 1939 film, 'The Wizard of Oz'. During the first verse, the old man from earlier on is shown to be walking along in a poppy field wearing a santa hat and climbing onto a Christan cr
oss which is covered in crows to be crucified.Next, during the chorus the band are shown to be performing in front of the crow-ridden cross seen in the first vers
e, however the old man is not shown to be on it any more. In the second verse a little girl wearing a Ku Klux Klan uniform and a fat woman with angel wings and shown to have some of her internal organs on the outside (very much like the album's cover) are shown jumping up and down trying to reach some fetuses that are hanging from a tree which are out of reach.The old man is then shown hanging on the crow-covered cross again, but this time he is wearing a hat which you would usually see on a religious figure (such as the Pope maybe) with the little girl fro the last verse seen to be jumping a
up and down trying to get hold of the cross.
