Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore
© John Prine

While digesting Reader's 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
I'd tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't 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
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't 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 wife's forehead.

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't 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 I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."

Since when is a Flag of any partigular Country associated with any particular Party,especially in the case of the US. of A. ?

It's not so much the association of a particular party with the flag rather an irrational worship of a piece of cloth as though it was somehow sacred predominently by republicans.

The republican party seems to have a higher regard for the American flag than the constitution. The recent (2006) defeat of proposed Constitutional amendment to ban flag “desecration.” Amendment, S.J. Res. 12, fell one vote short of the two-thirds majority required for passage. This amendment was heavily supported by republicans and equally opposed by democrats who did not want to inject censorship into the constitution by limiting the scope of the 1st amendment (freedom of speech & expression).

"Democrats wrap themselves in the constitution and burn the flag while Republicans wrap themselves in the flag and burn the constitution."

I never heard of Toby Keith.

Is he a country singer?

Funny, I always thought republicans rolled a democrat and smoked him.
