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
