The OP suggested this could become a rallying anthem for the resistance, and I simply disagree.

First of all, it’s a slow song, and second, it doesn’t have a hook that folks could sing along to at a march or other gathering.

It will get a lot of attention for a few days, which is a good thing, and provide some needed catharsis for some, then fade away.
