The Mesopotamians

[00:00.99] We've been driving around
[00:04.02] From one end of this town
[00:07.08] To the other and back
[00:11.08] But no one's ever seen us
[00:15.16] Driving our Econoline van
[00:18.24] And no one's ever heard of our band
[00:21.23] We're the mesopotamians
[00:25.24] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[00:30.37] And they wouldn't understand a word we say
[00:34.45] So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
[00:37.59] Half believing there will sometime come a day
[00:41.68] Someone gives a damn
[00:42.73] Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand
[00:46.96] We're the mesopotamians
[00:51.00] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[00:58.17] The mesopotamish sun is beating down
[01:03.18] And making cracks in the ground
[01:06.22] But there's nowhere else to stand
[01:10.37] In Mesopotamia
[01:12.30] (But no one's ever seen us)
[01:14.35] The kingdom where we secretly reign
[01:16.44] (And no one's ever heard of our band)
[01:17.45] The land where we invisibly rule
[01:20.57] As the mesopotamians
[01:23.57] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[01:29.64] This is my last stick of gum
[01:32.67] I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some
[01:35.77] Except for Ashurbanipal, who says my haircut
[01:39.78] Makes me look like a Mohenjo-Daren
[01:43.83] Hey, Ashurbanipal
[01:45.93] I'm a mesopotamian
[01:50.08] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[01:57.36] We're the mesopotamians
[02:00.42] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[02:07.67] Hey, man, I thought that you were dead
[02:12.72] I thought you crashed your car
[02:16.86] No, man, I've been right here this whole time
[02:20.91] Playing bass guitar
[02:23.07] For the mesopotamians
[02:28.15]
[02:31.13] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal
[02:38.26] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[02:44.46] We're the mesopotamians
[02:48.51] Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
[02:53.34]
