We've been driving around |
|
From one end of this town to the other and back |
|
But no one's ever seen us (No one's ever seen us) |
|
Driving our Econoline van (And no one's ever heard of our band) |
|
And no one's ever heard of our band |
|
We're the Mesopotamians |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
|
Then they wouldn't understand a word we say, |
|
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay |
|
Half believing there will sometime come a day |
|
Someone gives a damn |
|
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand |
|
We're the Mesopotamians |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
|
The Mesopotam-ish sun is beating down |
|
And making cracks in the ground |
|
But there's nowhere else to stand |
|
In Mesopotamia, (No one's ever seen us) |
|
The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band) |
|
The land where we invisibly rule |
|
As the Mesopotamians |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
|
This is my last stick of gum |
|
I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some |
|
Except for Ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-daroan |
|
Hey, Ashurbanipal, |
|
I'm a Mesopotamian |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
|
We're the Mesopotamians |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
|
"Hey, man, I thought that you were dead |
|
I thought you crashed your car" |
|
"No, man, I've been right here this whole time playing bass guitar |
|
For the Mesopotamians" |
|
We're the Mesopotamians |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
|
We're the Mesopotamians |
|
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh |
