It was released as the sole single from the band's 1989 album The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste.

Also shown in the video are a chaotic audience, a few people on fire, and the band performing onstage.

The music video was directed by Eric A. Zimmerman and Ben Stokes through their production company H-GUN Labs in Chicago.

The single's cover appears to depict People's Liberation Army soldiers, with one individual holding Mao's red book.

The song was covered in 2000 by the heavy metal band Static-X, featuring Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory.
