Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Chris Applebaum is a parody of the heavy metal documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot.

The video then begins, flashforwarding between a storyline about a girl who acts subservient to her boyfriend, not knowing about his cheating escapades, and the band performing.
