1
While digesting Reader's Digest
2
In the back of a dirty book store,
3
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
4
Fell out on the floor.
5
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
6
Slapped on my window shield,
7
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
8
I tell her how good I feel.
9
Chorus:
10
But your flag decal won't get you
11
Into Heaven any more.
12
They're already overcrowded
13
From your dirty little war.
14
Now Jesus don't like killin'
15
No matter what the reason's for,
16
And your flag decal won't get you
17
Into Heaven any more.
18
Well, I went to the bank this morning
19
And the cashier he said to me,
20
"If you join the Christmas club
21
We'll give you ten of them flags for free. "
22
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
23
I took her up on what he said.
24
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
25
And one on my wife's forehead.
26
Repeat Chorus:
27
Well, I got my window shield so filled
28
With flags I couldn't see.
29
So, I ran the car upside a curb
30
And right into a tree.
31
By the time they got a doctor down
32
I was already dead.
33
And I'll never understand why the man
34
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...
35
But your flag decal won't get you
36
Into Heaven any more.
37
We're already overcrowded
38
From your dirty little war.
39
Now Jesus don't like killin'
40
No matter what the reason's for,
41
And your flag decal won't get you
42
Into Heaven any more.
Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heave...
