Government Flu

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 '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 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 flu

Flew through you
