The video for this song is focused on Leonard Peltier, the American Indian Movement leader who was framed by the FBI and has rotted in a jail cell for the past 20 years. The general theme of this song is how the US government, media, and corporations are able to convince Americans they have their "freedom" while secretly blinding them to any other reality, which makes the freedom seem so much more of a reality.
While performing this song live, Zach de la Rocha changes the lyrics towards the end to say "Freedom...for Mumia..." This is a reference to the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former death row inmate with a case similar to Leonard Peltier.
