Video Clip

When I first watched the video I have to say I didn't get it. But then I saw Hugh Laurie as a Bruce Springsteen-esque singer. Springsteen is representative of the working class and his songs epitomize its struggle. The song was simple - repeating only America and the States. And he sang it full of angst and anguish. In the end he is punched out by a man in a suit symbolizing how others (other countries around the world) are tired of hearing Americans cry and complain about how difficult things are for them.
