A couple of months ago I was plinking around on someone else's guitar at a rally and I started playing "You're flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore". I was shocked at how many 20-somethings at the rally knew the song. This is the song I hear ever time I see one of those stupid ribbon magnets on an SUV.

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.
