The title of the first single from the band's fifth album, A Crow Left of the Murder, refers to a person with delusional fantasies of power, and the video applies that definition to the United States and President Bush...

The clip opens with guitarist Mike Einziger in front of a radio switchboard, appearing to give a speech. The sign on the wall before him reads "No Grace Period," while the one to his left reads "Operation Freedom Control," presumably a play on "Operation Iraqi Freedom" that ironically suggests that the U.S. controls the Iraqis' independence. A six-volt battery on a shelf bears the label "super power"...

The scene morphs into a shot of the giant-sized bandmembers performing on top of buildings. A zoom into one of the buildings' windows reveals a TV showing the film "The United States Air Force Presents ... Brain Washing" before a series of war scenes culminates with Adolf Hitler, with airplane bomber wings on his back, flying overhead...

Later, a politician looking like Bush addresses a crowd of protesters who hold signs reading antiwar slogans such as "Not in Our Name" and "Drop Love Not Bombs." As the podium from which he speaks morphs into a gas pump that inflates skyward, the protesters clash with police. Boyd, meanwhile, repeats the line "Step down, step down."

8. Fixed, sorry

I really wish we could replace D.U. "HTML" with regular HTML. Sorry for the confusion.

3. lyrics (strong language)

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, unkind heart
So much you ever seem to fly
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
You're not Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down
Step down

Are we your appendages?
That hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You're not Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down
Step down

Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're not Elvis

You're no answer!!

Hey megalomaniac
You're not Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down

6. rock n roll!

system of a down, dixie chicks, pearl jam and now incubus.... rock n roll leads the charge against the wannabe dictator. america's musicians are the guardians of freedom, not the polishitians.
all hail rock n roll!

24. And don't forget Steve Earle. His "Just an American Boy" kicks

ass. His dislike of bush is out in the open.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Very heavy thing, man.

I feel so 60's all of a sudden, and I see a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Welcome the new rockers to a great tradition.

[Catch22Dem]

12. The video is a little Pythonesque

And the song rocks. I liked Incubus before this, but this moves them up several notches.

I like near the end where they're having a quart of OIL for dinner. LOL

13. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT!!!!

fantastic VIDEO!!!!

[silverweb]

14. Fantastic!

We've been Incubus fans for some time. This new song and video are wonderful!

I wonder how much air time it will get... or is that asking too much?

[otohara]

15. Air Time On MTV What's That?

Although I did hear MTV was playing more videos.

Will MTV play this one , or will the White House censors tell Viacom it's a no, no and Viacom's bosses will bow down and say yes Massah Bush?

[linazelle]

16. I love Incubus and it 's good to know they're on our side...

I've written so many celebs off my list it's not funny (Bruce Willis, Schwarzenegger, Dennis Miller, James Wood...). At least I can still look to a few for entertainment.

[Paragon]

17. The celebs you listed...

...haven't been "entertaining" to me in quite a long time. They're all on quite the downward slide.

[Robin Hood]

18. Hey Megalomaniac!

Carnal jesus, You're no fuckng Elvis. Step down, step down... Yeah!!!! Rock the fuck on.

Wow! Was that powerful or what?
