We've been driving around
Dm                   Gm          Bb        C
From one end of this town to the other and back
Bb                F    Bb                F    Bb
But no one's ever seen us (No one's ever seen us)
Bb           F   Bb   C
Driving our Econoline van (And no one's ever heard of our band)
    A
And no one's ever heard of our band

Then they wouldn't understand a word we say,
                        Gm            F#m
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
                          B               Em 
Half believing there will sometime come a day
Someone gives a damn
               A
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand

The Mesopotam-ish sun is beating down
Dm                       Gm
And making cracks in the ground
            Bb              C
But there's nowhere else to stand
   Bb    F   Bb                F    Bb
In Mesopotamia, (No one's ever seen us)
    Bb               F     Bb C
The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)
    A
The land where we invisibly rule

This is my last stick of gum 
             Em                     G
I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some
  F#m                       B               C                    A
Except for Ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-daroan

A

"Hey, man, I thought that you were dead
  C                        Am
I thought you crashed your car"
     Em                   A                    Em           A
