[edit] Music video

The video for the song features the band working undercover at a diner in order to retrieve a disc from a group of secret agents. But just as they are about to succeed, they are ordered to abort the mission, as the secret agents turn out to be decoys. The boys are soon kicked out of the diner, and the phone that Fred Durst uses at the beginning blows up right at the end. There are also scenes of the band performing in front of the diner.
