thumb|350px|right The music video for "Everybody's Fool", directed by Philip Stolzl, is a live action video that portrays the life of a glamorous superstar (played by Amy Lee). In the video, Amy's character is really unhappy with the way she portrays herself in the media. She sells Lies consumer products (perfume, pizza, energy drinks, Japanese dolls), mostly portrayed on television commercials.

The video was filmed in Los Angeles in mid-April 2004. It quickly became a fan favourite.

The video starts out with a television commercial starring Amy Lee's character, as she is wearing a blonde wig and a dress along with make up. She pulls a fresh pizza out of the oven and sets it on the dining room table where the rest of the "family" has gathered. The mother asks if she made it all by herself. Lying, Amy's character thinks "Oops!" to herself as the family is proud of her. She then holds the pizza box in front of the camera whiling smiling and says "There is nothing better than a good Lie".

Amy's character stops smiling after the video camera cuts off. The song begins to play afterwards. The crew starts putting more make up on her face as the video camera starts to roll again.

The video skips over to Amy without any make up and in a brown hoodie. The scene then changes to Amy's character laying a love seat wearing a brown wig this time as a professional photographer is snapping pictures. The scene skips to Amy's character in her room scribbling out pictures of herself in magazines.

She starts becoming depressed in her room as flashbacks of her commercials play through the video. She is now in her bathroom where she thrusts her hand into the mirror causing it to break and making her hand bleed.

The video then shows Amy again in her brown hoodie as two girls behind her recognize her from tv, and ask if its really her. Amy's character nervously denies the claims, but the two girls still believe it is her and start laughing, and make a negative remark on how they thought she looked so much younger on tv.

The scene switches to Amy coming out of the water in the bath tub and moving back her hair. More flashbacks of her commercials are shown as she goes onto her balcony to see a giant billboard of her outside. Amy's character cries and shouts at it.
