The satirical video, directed by Mat Whitecross, replaces the band's performance with explosions, plus cleverly-edited footage which appears to show George Bush dancing and Tony Blair playing guitar in time with the track.
Other politicians in the video include Boris Yeltsin and Saddam Hussein. The name of demoratic candidate Barack Obama is also shown on a woman's underwear.

The clip follows an original video directed by Asa Mader for the single taken from forthcoming album 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends' which shows the band performing on Mount Etna.
'Violet Hill' is currently at number eight in the UK charts and attracted two million downloads when it was released last month as a free download on the bands website.
