I sort of like what we have. I have heard complaints that it is difficult to sing. But I like it!
Just because it is old is no reason to change. If it ain’t broke, don’t change!!!
And probably the only national anthem in the world that does so, at the end of the first stanza it asks a very good question:
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
It was 100 years old when Wilson supposedly endorsed it. It did not become this “anthem” thing until the ‘30s. It was old already, but back then people weren’t so arrogant and flippant about old stuff.
