It would be a great switch.

It is simply true that any Lizzo song would make a great national anthem. Even Hillary Clinton thinks so.

On Tuesday, the singer tweeted a clip from a 2016 Democratic presidential debate featuring the then-candidates -- including blasts from the past Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb, and Lincoln Chafee -- putting their hands over their hearts for the national anthem. Except "The Star-Spangled Banner" is not playing in the background -- the perfect Lizzo song "Truth Hurts" is.

The opening line, "Why're men great 'til they gotta be great?" plays as the camera pans across the 5 candidates.

Hillary Clinton, who continues to maintain an extremely active Twitter presence, continued the song in the replies. "I just took a DNA test..." she tweeted. (The next line is "Turns out I'm 100 percent that bitch." Hillary, oh my god!)

Since I am not Lizzo, I am not qualified to say who is and who is not that bitch. But I will say this: Hillary Clinton 100 percent won the popular vote.

Also, I am not finding any online petitions to change our national anthem to "Truth Hurts." Can someone get on that? Hillary? That could be a cool thing for you to do.
