Lyrics
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

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 till 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

No!

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

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 flew
Through
You
