it is generally, and incorrectly, assumed that "president forever" was written with george w. bush in mind, but the song was actually written by scott lucas in 1999, prior to bush ever running for president; following the invasion of iraq, the lyrics were given a light update and the song was rushed onto the ep. lucas made note of this in the "'99-'00 demos" liner notes, saying of the song: "that, ladies and gentlemen, is prescience."
