Should this be our National Anthem?

The kneeling issue has been framed poorly by the players and press.
However, it is more than reasonable to ask, should this be our National Anthem?

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 wash’d 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.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto – “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It is. I had to learn all of the stanzas in elementary school.

If that were only why they were kneeling.
I'm down with changing it to Baw wit ta ba, bang, bang diggity.

I nominated 'All Summer Long' by Kid Rock to be the alternative anthem.

These verses have only recently surfaced on the internet in a kind of "hey, did you know this?" way. I have NEVER heard anybody sing them. I would estimate that ~66% of Americans couldn't even recite the first verse, much less these later two.
