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 Got nothing to do But sing a bunch of making-up words That no one else is ever going to hear It's like we're speaking a forgotten ancient language Nobody understands We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh The Mesopotamian sun is beating down And making cracks in the ground But there's nowhere else to stand In Mesopotamia, (Mesopotamia) The kingdom where we secretly reign (Kingdom where we secretly reign) The land that we invisibly rule As the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh We hung around till the sun came out and Dried up all the rain And now we're scratching our names in the clay We've got a garage where we get to play And we are not fading away We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh The Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh We're the Mesopotamians |
