The kingdom where we secretly reign 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-Daren 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
