Do you know all the lyrics of the national anthem of the country that you live in?

"God save the Queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
A potential H bomb."

No. I only know the first verse because you hear it when England are playing international football matches, but I've never had to sing it myself.

I know the part where you sing "and our pockets said 'flare!', pillgrams bursting in air, gave proof through the light that our brag was still Cher"

Only the first verse, there are other verses that like 6 people ever knew and they were all dead by 1893

No, I do not. That has two reasons. The country here has no official anthem but an habitual anthem that originally only was a song of one of the areas here. The second reason is that that text forming the lyrics is of low quality and even lesser sense. It is a self boasting chauvinistic and nationalistic nonsense of superbe quirkiness. I do blush when only reading this. However most anthems I do know contain similar nonsense and is equally racist, dumb, brutal, bloodthirsty, nationalistic utter dumbness.

I do, but only because we were forced to sing it in morning assembly in school. If we didn't or was caught lip syncing, we'd get detention and a letter written home.
