[edit] Music video
The music video is likely a stab at the war on terrorism. It features politicians seemingly conspiring against the public. Meanwhile, a group of ants interfere with their files. A character (apparently, the President) gives a speech with the help of a computerised prompter. The ants' interference causes the prompter to say "I lied to you. We are the enemy.", which the president says.
