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
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

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
there is no other pill to take, so swallow the one that made you ill
Sleep Now In The Fire
There's no veil on these lyrics although a simple-minded jack ass would disagree. Not one of DK's prouder moments but the reason I'm posting a comment is how insanely obvious the parrot effect is in this song. Jello bit off Dylan, Dylan bit off Woodie Guthrie, and every so called punk rock band that sand something besides sex drugs and rock n roll (which is more than suitable for me) bit off our beloved dead kennedys. I wish more songs nowadays had the balls to push the envelope like jello did, and once again, this song wasn't there strongest but how can you not feed into the notion of big brother's evil agenda. And I don't think its just an appetite for conspiracy theory bull-shit, what Jello wrote about is not literal, I don't think I have to even explain that, but what I think he is trying to convey is the Absolute Loss Of Trust. And the saddest part is that its a loss among ourselves, our own communities, our own state, of our country. And now, 2010, "everything" is so blatantly corrupt and dead that we need so many more song slike this but the Fuckin God Damn American People don't even give a shit if they're getting raped, robbed, or ripped off. Give them convenience ogr give them death!!!!
This song is about the government pumping us full of unnecessary drugs, for their own gains. They do it in order to slowly kill off an increasing world population. Why does a healthy small child need so many vaccinations? How has the human race survived until now? We don't need them! The Illuminati and the New World Order are killing us off and have been doing this since the 70s, with their swine flu jabs. Check out David Icke and his theories on the Illuminati/NWO and swine flu vaccinations on youtube - it's scary stuff, but essential viewing!
i forgot to say, most relevant of all, jello would have despised david icke as a purveyor of illogical bullshit.
my god man, questioning the essentiality of swine flu jabs is one thing, but subscribing to the irrational and unsubstantiated science-fiction nonsense of david icke is another. this man is a delusional maniac with literally nothing to back up his fanciful assertions
and as an adendum, a HEALTHY child needs vaccinations in order to protect it from BECOMING unhealthy. there is no point giving a child a vaccination for an affliction it already has.
The Government funnel you into a lifestyle that's convenient for them. You work 9-5, 5 days a week, until you're either dead or about to retire. That's what the Government flu is.
They stick Flouride in the drinking water which has proven to have detrimental effects on health when cosumed in large quantities.
