歌曲MV
這首歌的MV由Chris Hopewell執導，這也是Chris第一次和The Offspring合作。和樂隊的"Hammerhead"和"Hit That"兩首歌一樣，MV中都是電腦合成的畫面，沒有樂隊演奏的鏡頭，然而，有區別的是，此首歌的MV包含真實的演員，由錄像機拍攝再進行後期的電腦合成。
故事情節大致如下：某虛構的世界裡，一個農民在農場幹活，這時，作物女神突然現身，送了農民一把黃金吉他。農民接過吉他後就開始彈奏這個曲子。接著，他入了城，給城裡人表演。神奇的黃金吉他賦予他靈感，給他賺了大把的鈔票，更神奇的是，只要他開始彈奏，聽眾就會不自主的開始跳舞。他又對著得了瘟疫的人們彈奏，瞬間奇蹟降臨，人人自愈，但他卻伸手向災民要貴重的項鍊作為報酬，這一切都被作物女神看在眼裡，女神很生氣。春風得意的農民大搖大擺地朝豪華酒店走去，卻因為他破爛的穿著被趕出門外，他一點都不捉急，淡定的繼續去市集彈奏，賺了大把大把的鈔票換了身人模人樣的衣裳，成功進軍豪華酒店。在酒店他又重操舊業開始給上層有錢太太先生們彈奏，他的錢包更是鼓鼓的了。最後作物女神看不過去他的自私，發怒了。施法讓他的四肢不受控制地跳舞，跳著跳著就被卷進地上的旋窩中，徹底消失。歌曲的最後，黃金吉他掉在地上，化成落葉飄飛而走。

單曲歌詞
Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting heard
And as you step back in the line
A mob jumps to their feet
Now dance fucker, dance
Man, you never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far kid
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
If you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me
Now dance fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
Now you lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far kid
Trust deceived
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
（間奏）
Now dance fucker dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
So dance fucker dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
