living next to a self-righteous mass-murdering sociopath

Has anybody actually paid any real attention to the US national anthem recently?!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution. (!!!)
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand (what about free women?)
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land (!!!)
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. (???)
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just, (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
