Notes:A satirical anti-war song by John Prine poking fun at superficial patriotism.

 

While diGgesting Readers 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 ran outside And slapped it on my windowCshield.

And If DI could see old Betsy Ross Id tell her how good I Gfeel.

 

But, your Cflag decal won't get you into GHeaven anymore.

They're alDready overcrowded From your Gdirty little war

Now CJesus don't like Killin' No matter Gwhat the reasons for.

And your Dflag decal won't get you into Heaven anyGmore.Bb C D

 

Well I Gwent to the Bank this morning And the Ccashier said to me

DIf you join the Christmas Club We'll give you ten of them flags for Gfree.

GI didn't mess a round a bit I took him up on what he Csaid

And Dstuck them stickers all over my car And one on my wifes foreGhead.

 

But, your Cflag decal won't get you into GHeaven anymore.

They're alDready overcrowded From your Gdirty little war

Now CJesus don't like Killin' No matter Gwhat the reasons for.

And your Dflag decal won't get you into Heaven anyGmore.Bb C D

 

Well I Ggot my windshield so filled with flags I couldn't Csee

So I Dran my 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...

 

But, your Cflag decal won't get you into GHeaven anymore.

We're alDready overcrowded From your Gdirty little war

Now CJesus don't like Killin' No matter Gwhat the reasons for.

And your Dflag decal won't get you into Heaven anyGmore.Bb C D
