Music video
A music video directed by Shane Drake was released for the track in 2005. The video opens with the band playing in an abandoned warehouse. It cuts to an arrival of a man ready for work at a fast food restaurant, but he was late. A girl wants to eat a piece of chocolate and choose her own outfit, but her manager refuses to let her. The man wants to do the work, but then quits his job to see his girlfriend. He arrives, but she was busy preparing for a photo shoot. To win his girlfriend back, he activates the pressure gauges and sets off the sprinklers under the playing band. Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis, Josh Farro, and Hayley Williams then get all wet in the water. The video closes with the couple escaping and the band staying in the water.Track listing
