Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore

Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore 歌詞
While digesting Readers Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
Id tell her how good I feel.
But your flag decal wont get you
Into Heaven any more.
Theyre already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus dont like killin
No matter what the reasons for,
And your flag decal wont get you
Into Heaven any more.
Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
'If you join the Christmas club
Well give you ten of them flags for free.'
Well, I didnt mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wifes forehead.
But your flag decal wont get you
Into Heaven any more.
Theyre already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus dont like killin
No matter what the reasons for,
And your flag decal wont get you
Into Heaven any more.
Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldnt see.
So , I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And Ill never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...
'But your flag decal wont get you
Into Heaven any more.
Were already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus dont like killing
No matter what the reasons for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.'
