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
