Senza deludere le aspettative, l'artista francese di origini spagnole è stato il primo a rendere disponibile il brano su internet, ovviamente gratis, e lo ha accompagnato con un video militante, girato da Emir Kusturica, dove denuncia la guerra e attacca l'intervento in Iraq dell'amministrazione Usa. "Benvenuti in paradiso", canta sotto una pioggia incessante, elencando le atrocità in Zaire, la calamità in Congo, l'ipocrisia in Palestina. E ancora, piove a Bagdad dove non c'è democrazia "perché è un Paese Usa", e ancora Falluja, Gerusalemme, Monrovia, Guinea-Bissau: "Go Masai, go Masai", il mondo intero sta impazzendo.
Il videoclip, in bianco e nero, mostra l'ex leader dei Mano Negra, alla guida di un furgone con tre curiosi esponenti della Colifata (stazione radio che trasmette dell'ospedale psichiatrico Borda di Buenos Aires, con cui l'artista aveva già collaborato) mentre attraversa una grande strada della capitale argentina, mentre scorrono immagini di guerra, tra armi, rifugiati e tanti bimbi. Manu Chao al volante perde uno per volta i suoi compagni di viaggio, che ritrova in un finale a colori, con una breve apparizione del regista.
