Cover art for Testing 1,2,3 lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

oops sorry, forgot to put what the meaning of the whole song is, at least, in my opinion. I think it's about people not accepting you as you are. You know, how people change to be accepted ("If I acted less like me, would I be in the clear?") Maybe more like the singer changed (hence the reference to 'One Week") and people aren't really accepting him and sometimes he just wishes that he go back to when he was accepted but he doesn't really want to because he likes who he is even though no one else does...Does that make sense?
