==Lyrics==<br />
Once upon a time me and Vudi met<br><br />
A major American rock star in a shop<br><br />
We were immediately jealous of his hair<br><br />
And his fuel-injected sports cock<br />
<br />
He made the usual stupid sexual jokes<br><br />
About the way he comes on top<br><br />
But I could tell it was a lie<br><br />
By the way that he walked<br />
<br />
How did you pass The President's Test<br><br />
Even if I can't match your ability to compete<br><br />
At least give me a chance to cheat<br />
<br />
He said, "Are you losers making fun<br><br />
Of our serious vocation?<br><br />
You just gotta bring the music to the people man<br><br />
And then go score a hole in one."<br />
<br />
The pleasures of a treadmill and the factory<br><br />
Took all the innocence from his eyes<br><br />
Leaving him to spurt unashamed<br><br />
By the size of his dull surprise<br />
<br />
How did you pass The President's Test<br><br />
I never felt honest telling those virtuous lies<br><br />
And my toupee always gets into my eyes<br />
<br />
How do you pass The President's Test<br><br />
I don't even want to know my score<br><br />
I don't know who's telling me the truth anymore<br />
<br />
I said, "The only thing that we're good for<br><br />
Is being forgotten."<br><br />
And I know you're big enough of a star<br><br />
To make sure that the job gets done<br />
<br />
How do you pass The President's Test<br><br />
I swear one day they'll build a monument<br><br />
To the man with the most reasons for his embarrassment<br />
<br />
How do you pass The President's Test<br><br />
No I don't even want to know my score<br><br />
I don't know who's telling me the truth anymore<br />
