0:00:07.129,0:00:14.059
We've been driving around

0:00:14.059,0:00:17.669
From one end of this town[br]to the other and back[br]

0:00:17.669,0:00:21.300
But no one's ever seen us[br](No one's ever seen us)

0:00:21.300,0:00:24.970
Driving our Econoline van[br](And no one's ever heard of our band)

0:00:24.970,0:00:27.360
And no one's ever heard of our band

0:00:27.360,0:00:31.280
We're the Mesopotamians

0:00:31.280,0:00:36.410
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

0:00:36.410,0:00:39.980
Then they wouldn't[br]understand a word we say

0:00:39.980,0:00:43.600
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay

0:00:43.600,0:00:47.150
Half believing there will[br]sometime come a day

0:00:47.150,0:00:48.900
Someone gives a damn

0:00:48.900,0:00:52.650
Maybe when the concrete[br]has crumbled to sand

0:00:52.650,0:00:56.810
We're the Mesopotamians

0:00:56.810,0:01:03.420
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

0:01:03.420,0:01:11.490
The Mesopotamish sun is beating down[br]And making cracks in the ground

0:01:11.490,0:01:15.800
But there's nowhere else to stand

0:01:15.800,0:01:19.610
In Mesopotamia[br](No one's ever seen us)

0:01:19.610,0:01:23.199
The kingdom where we secretly reign[br](And no one's ever heard of our band)

0:01:23.199,0:01:25.520
The land where we invisibly rule

0:01:25.520,0:01:29.330
As the Mesopotamians

0:01:29.330,0:01:34.530
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh[br]

0:01:34.530,0:01:37.139
This is my last stick of gum

0:01:37.139,0:01:41.209
I'm going to cut it up so[br]everybody else gets some

0:01:41.209,0:01:43.100
Except for Ashurbanipal

0:01:43.100,0:01:49.210
Who says my haircut makes me[br]look like a Mohenjo-daren

0:01:49.210,0:01:50.956
Hey, Ashurbanipal

0:01:50.956,0:01:54.832
I'm a Mesopotamian

0:01:54.832,0:02:01.701
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

0:02:01.701,0:02:05.760
We're the Mesopotamians

0:02:05.760,0:02:12.740
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

0:02:12.740,0:02:17.439
"Hey, man, I thought[br]that you were dead"

0:02:17.439,0:02:20.859
"I thought you crashed your car"

0:02:20.859,0:02:29.089
"No, man, I've been right here this[br]whole time playing bass guitar

0:02:29.089,0:02:30.910
"For the Mesopotamians"

0:02:30.910,0:02:36.300
We're the Mesopotamians[br]

0:02:36.890,0:02:41.230
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal

0:02:42.280,0:02:48.963
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh[br]

0:02:48.963,0:02:53.186
We're the Mesopotamians

0:02:53.186,0:02:59.850
Sargon, Hammurabi,[br]Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
