While digeGsting Reader's Digest
In the baCck of a dirty book store,
A plD7astic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the flGoor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped on my windowshiCeld,
And if D7I could see old Betsy Ross
I tell her how good I fGeel.
Chorus:
But your fClag decal won't get you
Into HeGaven any more.
They're alD7ready overcrowded
From your diGrty little wG7ar.
Now JeCsus don't like killin'
No matter wGhat the reason's for,
And your fD7lag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any mGore. Bb C D7
Well, I wGent to the bank this morning
And the casChier he said to me,
"ID7f you join the Chrismas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for frGee."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I tG7ook her up on what he sCaid.
And I stD7uck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehGead.
Chorus:
But your fClag decal won't get you
Into HeGaven any more.
They're alD7ready overcrowded
From your diGrty little wG7ar.
Now JeCsus don't like killin'
No matter wGhat the reason's for,
And your fD7lag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any mGore. Bb C D7
Well, I gGot my windowshield so filled
With flags I couldn't sCee.
So, I rD7an the car upside a curb
And right into a trGee.
By the time they got a doctor down
GI was already dCead.
And I'll neD7ver understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates saGid...
But your fClag decal won't get you
Into HeGaven any more.
We're alD7ready overcrowded
From your diGrty little wG7ar.
Now JeCsus don't like killin'
No matter wGhat the reason's for,
And your fD7lag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any mGore. C G
