G C
While digesting Readers Digest in the back of a dirty book store
D G
A plastic flag with gum on the back Fell out on the floor.
G C
Well I picked it up and ran outside And slapped it on my windowshield.
D G
And If I could see old Betsy Ross Id tell her how good I feel.
(Chorus)
C G
But, your flag decal won?t get you into Heaven anymore.
D G
They?re already overcrowded From your dirty little war
C G
Now Jesus don?t like Killin? No matter what the reasons for.
D G Bb C D
And your flag decal won?t get you into Heaven anymore.
G C
Well I went to the Bank this morning And the cashier said to me
D G
If you join the Christmas Club We'll give you ten of them flags for free.
G C
I didn?t mess a round a bit I took him up on what he said
D G
And stuck them stickers all over my car And one on my wifes forehead.
(Chorus)
G C
Well I got my windshield so filled with flags I couldn?t see
D G
So I ran my car upside a curb and right into a tree
G C
By the time they got a doctor down I was already dead,
D
And I?ll never understand Why the man,
G
Standing in the Pearly Gates said?
(Chorus)
