We got a drug
We're gonna try it out on you
Won't make you die

It'll getcha just a little bit sick

[Chorus]

Got a head cold
Got a chest cold
And it's three days old

(Goin' on forever)
Make you hazy
Make you lazy

Drive you crazy
For days and days and days and days and days
And years


Barely got the time now
To stay on the job

Double up the dosage in your water supply
Make you even sicker 'til you're slippin' away


Getting all depressed
It's getting all your friends
You can't get it up

For nothing that'll rock the boat

The government flu

The government flu
The government flu


Slip it abroad
Keep a-slowin' down the USSR
But meanwhile

We'll keep an eye
On what it's doin' to you


[Chorus]
Got a head cold
Got a chest cold

And it's three days old
(Goin' on forever)
Make you hazy

Make you lazy
Drive you crazy
For days and days and days and days and days

And days and days and days and days and days
And days and days and days and days and days
And years


The government flu
The government flu

The government flu
Flew
Through

You
