The first music video was shot in 1992.[1] Its Black & white video, which shows grainy images of Clawfinger playing, intercut with the words "Understand", "knowledge", "racism", "power" and various catchphrases questioning the use of the title word. The other Swedish version was shot in 1993.[2] It was a more colorful video, which used many of the same live scenes as the first version, but the playing of the group is mixed with videos of military unrest and house fires.
