The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] for "Burn" is similar to the various screen projections used throughout Nine Inch Nails tours. Directed by Hank Corwin and Reznor, it features images of people, nature, and general destruction and decay interspersed with images from the film and Reznor singing. The video incorporates clips from ''Natural Born Killers'' and is filmed in such a way that the video mimics the film. According to IMDB.com, the ''Natural Born Killers'' clips are actually footage that was cut from the film.
==Live==
This song has become a staple of the live performances for years, though it has been played differently throughout the various live lineup changes. During the [[Self Destruct Tour]], it was played like the album version, including distorted vocals. During the With Teeth era, it featured more radical changes: the percussive loops were heavily manipulated by Alessandro Cortini on a custom Kaoss pad, and the synth line was played by Jeordie White on bass. During the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]], the regular album loops were manipulated by Reznor before the rest of the band kicked in. As well, the synth line was played by [[Justin Meldal-Johnsen]] on keyboards once again. During the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], this song featured backing vocals by [[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]].

I look down at where you're standing
Flock of sheep all on display
With all your lies piled propped up around you
I can take it all away
