National Anthem, Revised

It's our national song
But the words are all wrong
'Cause it sings about war and the glaring of rockets.
So I'll write words quite new
But I haven't a clue
Just some pieces of lyrics I crammed in my pockets.

And this part is too high
For the average guy
Each time that I sing it
I just want to cry.

While the overpaid athletes
Drop down and take a knee
Tis a good thing that they live
In the Land Of The Free.
