1
The Mesopotamians
2
We've been driving around
3
From one end of this town to the other and back
4
But no one's ever seen us (No one's ever seen us)
5
Driving our Econoline van (And no one's ever heard of our band)
6
And no one's ever heard of our band
7
We're the Mesopotamians
8
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
9
Then they wouldn't understand a word we say,
10
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
11
Half believing there will sometime come a day
12
Someone gives a damn
13
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand
14
We're the Mesopotamians
15
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
16
The Mesopotam-ish sun is beating down
17
And making cracks in the ground
18
But there's nowhere else to stand
19
In Mesopotamia, (No one's ever seen us)
20
The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)
21
The land where we invisibly rule
22
As the Mesopotamians
23
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
24
This is my last stick of gum
25
I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some
26
Except for Ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-daroan
27
Hey, Ashurbanipal,
28
I'm a Mesopotamian
29
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
30
We're the Mesopotamians
31
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
32
"Hey, man, I thought that you were dead
33
I thought you crashed your car"
34
"No, man, I've been right here this whole time playing bass guitar
35
For the Mesopotamians"
36
We're the Mesopotamians
37
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal
38
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
39
We're the Mesopotamians
40
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
