[Verse 1]
While Gdigesting Reader's Digest
In the Cback of a dirty book store,
A Dplastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the Gfloor.
Well, I Gpicked it up and I ran outside
Slapped on my windowC shield,
And if DI could see old Betsy Ross
I tell her how good I Gfeel.
[Chorus]
But your Cflag decal won't get you
Into GHeaven any more.
They're alDready overcrowded
From your Gdirty little war.
Now CJesus don't like killin'
No matter Gwhat the reason's for,
And your Dflag decal won't get you
Into Heaven anyGmore.Bb C D
[Verse 2]
Well, I Gwent to the bank this morning
And the Ccashier he said to me,
D"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for Gfree. "
Well, GI didn't mess around a bit
I took her up on what he Csaid.
And I Dstuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's foreGhead.
[Chorus]
But, your Cflag decal won't get you
Into Gheaven anymore
There alDready overcrowded
From your Gdirty little war
Noe CJesus don't like the killin
No matter Gwhat the reasons for
Ang your Dflag decal won't get you
into heaven anymGore Bb C D
[Verse 3]
Well, I Ggot my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't Csee.
So, I Dran the car upside a curb
And right into a Gtree.
By the Gtime they got a doctor down
I was already Cdead.
And I'll Dnever understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates Gsaid...
[Chorus]
But your Cflag decal won't get you
Into GHeaven any more.
We're Dalready overcrowded
From your Gdirty little war.
Now CJesus don't like killin'
No matter Gwhat the reason's for,
And your Dflag decal won't get you
Into Heaven anymGore.
