[00:00.802] While digesting Reader's Digest
[00:03.799] In the back of a dirty book store,
[00:06.299] A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
[00:09.799] Fell out on the floor.
[00:12.297] Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
[00:15.807] Slapped it on my window shield,
[00:18.562] And if I could see old Betsy Ross
[00:21.811] I'd tell her how good I feel.
[00:24.550]
[00:25.794] But your flag decal won't get you
[00:29.045] Into Heaven any more.
[00:31.795] They're already overcrowded
[00:34.800] From your dirty little war.
[00:38.039] Now Jesus don't like killin'
[00:41.293] No matter what the reason's for,
[00:44.540] And your flag decal won't get you
[00:47.047] Into Heaven any more.
[00:50.043]
[00:51.056] Well, I went to the bank this morning
[00:59.298] And the cashier he said to me,
[01:01.798] "If you join the Christmas club
[01:05.543] We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
[01:08.548] Well, I didn't mess around a bit
[01:11.560] I took him up on what he said.
[01:14.305] And I stuck them stickers all over my car
[01:18.799] And one on my wife's forehead.
[01:21.044]
[01:22.307] But your flag decal won't get you
[01:25.298] Into Heaven any more.
[01:27.793] They're already overcrowded
[01:31.226] From your dirty little war.
[01:34.476] Now Jesus don't like killin'
[01:37.488] No matter what the reason's for,
[01:40.745] And your flag decal won't get you
[01:43.489] Into Heaven any more.
[01:46.227]
[01:46.996] Well, I got my window shield so filled
[01:56.049] With flags I couldn't see.
[01:58.297] So, I ran the car upside a curb
[02:02.056] And right into a tree.
[02:04.544] By the time they got a doctor down
[02:08.051] I was already dead.
[02:10.545] And I'll never understand why the man
[02:14.049] Standing in the Pearly Gates said...
[02:16.552]
[02:18.556] "But your flag decal won't get you
[02:21.047] Into Heaven any more.
[02:24.289] We're already overcrowded
[02:27.051] From your dirty little war.
[02:29.795] Now Jesus don't like killin'
[02:33.546] No matter what the reason's for,
[02:36.294] And your flag decal won't get you
[02:39.555] Into Heaven any more."
