Can we make The Glorious Son's S.O.S.the official quarantine song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUVD...&start_radio=1


This song to me was the anthem of Canada's addicted/homeless, but now that we are all in quarentine with no job its meaning has expanded somewhat.

EDIT: It was initially written for the homeless in Kingston Ontario.

S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun)
The Glorious Sons
Mother, I don't wanna take my medicine
24 years in the gutter again, I'm losing it
I'm losing it
Everybody's acting like they're all alright
I can barely get myself to sleep at night, I'm sick of it
Yeah, I'm sick of it
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
I'd rather be crazy than to take these pills
I'm sick of being okay against my will
I'm losing it, I'm losing it
Ain't a thing in this world that I'm gonna miss
It's all fake smiles and leather jackets
We're full of it, yeah we're full of shit
I don't know who to trust
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
I'm losing it
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
I'm losing it
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
I don't know who to trust
Maybe people like us
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun

A lot of songs can fit well during these times...including a few Phantom Planet songs like Quarantine, Do the Panic, Lonely Day...

Glorious sons are currently Canada's most successful band, not only does their song fit the themes of the virus it also has major relevance in the bigger social issues facing Canadian society.

So I'm not sure those song apply.
