Should this be our anthem? (Saab sing along)

Someone recently posted about / reminded me of a Saab BioPower commercial featuring a song named “Release Me” by the Swedish band “Oh Laura”.
Here’s the commercial for anyone that missed it or wants a refresher:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piDgTFaafNM&feature=related
…and the full video for the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYfsJ6rXgoc&NR=1
and if the lyrics aren’t easy enough for everyone to discern – have a read (lyrics are copied from a website somewhere and may contain errors):
I am the wilderness locked in a cage
I am a growing force you kept in place
I am a tree reaching for the sun
Please don't hold me down
Please don't hold me down
I am a rolling wave without the motion
A glass of water longing for the ocean
I am an asphalt flower breaking free but you keep stopping me
Release me
Release me
I am the rain that's coming down on you
That you shielded yourself from with a roof
I am the fire burning desperately but you're controlling me
Release me
Release me
My Christmas wish / fantasy is that we get every Saab and driver possible armed with copies of the song in their Saabs to circle every GM office in the world blaring this from our radios with the windows down, until they release us and sell Saab.
Just a childish fantasy but this song really seems to fit how I feel about our brand and the people who build them and what GM is doing... Release me, release us, release Saab! Now!
Thank you for indulging me in this fantasy.
