Cosmopolitan Bloodloss was a 2002 single released by the band Glassjaw through Warner Bros. with two differing versions released in the U.S. and the UK. The tracks "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss" and "Trailer Park Jesus" can also be found on the full-length album Worship and Tribute.

Both singles also contained the video for the track "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss". Vincent Gallo appears in the music video. The video shows the band performing in an alley in New York City, which is cut with shots of Gallo confronting strangers as he walks the streets of New York. Gallo eventually comes upon the same alley that the band is performing in and he walks up to the speakers and unplugs the band's equipment just before the song is finished. He then gives them a long, cold stare before the video ends.

In a different version of the video, Gallo walks up to the band and shoots each member. It was deemed too violent for TV but can be found online.
