Hell yes! Eraserhead had a great idea. This song might be the Crowning Moment of Awesome for Guy Picciotto's entire career.

I- I believed- Memory might mirror no reflection on me,
I- I believed- that in forgetting I might set myself free.
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat- And then I choked.
I- I bled- I tried to hide the heart from the head.
I- I bled- in the arms of a girl I'd barely met.
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground- and then I drowned.
(And if I can't see its for want of...)
You-You said, "I see," if there's nothing here than its probably mine-
My-My turn to see- if there's nothing here it will always be mine
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat- And But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat- And I choked.
I- I guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn.
I- I guess I've learned if its in the corner of my eye I can't always turn.
But I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground- and then I drowned.
(And if I can't see its for want of...)

No

"I bled in the arms of a girl I'd barely met"? For a national anthem?

The guy was like 19 when he wrote that song. What do you expect?

No problem, but shouldn't be an anthem!

I'd rather not have an anthem at all.

As a 19 year old with no talent at all, I can say we can do better than that

Rites of Spring is about as good as it gets as far as BRTD goes. You people should be a little more open minded.

The quality of the song and the poll's question are unrelated.

True but I'm sensing a lot of negative vibes. There are much better songs but this one would still be an improvement over our current national anthem, imo.

No, but it should be Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

The plastic canopy of US royalty would be a fantastic phrase to have in our national anthem.
