The Mesopotamians
|
|
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
