It's ok. Amongst high school students in the United States, the percentage of them that actually know the words to The Star-Spangled Banner is much lower (probably around 20% for the first verse, and about 1% for the second and third verses).

What? You're just making that up, right?

By the looks of it he's right.

Americans Don't Know The National Anthem As Well As They Think

Nearly two in three Americans (61%) don’t know all of the words to the Star Spangled Banner
Of those who claim to know all the words, only 39 percent know what follows “whose broad stripes and bright stars” (answer:“through the perilous fight” )
34 percent answered “were so gallantly streaming”
19 percent answered "gave proof through the night”
Interestingly, of those who answered correctly, 58 percent had received at least five years of music in schools growing up

So apparently we don't own the market on lack of patriotism.

Well when you let them take the singing of the anthem and the lords prayer out of the public school system... how in hell do you expect them to know the friggin words..... oh... the erosion of Canada..
