1
00:00:07,129 --> 00:00:14,059
We've been driving around

2
00:00:14,059 --> 00:00:17,669
From one end of this town
to the other and back


3
00:00:17,669 --> 00:00:21,300
But no one's ever seen us
(No one's ever seen us)

4
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,970
Driving our Econoline van
(And no one's ever heard of our band)

5
00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:27,360
And no one's ever heard of our band

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,280
We're the Mesopotamians

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,410
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

8
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:39,980
Then they wouldn't
understand a word we say

9
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:43,600
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,150
Half believing there will
sometime come a day

11
00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:48,900
Someone gives a damn

12
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,650
Maybe when the concrete
has crumbled to sand

13
00:00:52,650 --> 00:00:56,810
We're the Mesopotamians

14
00:00:56,810 --> 00:01:03,420
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

15
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:11,490
The Mesopotamish sun is beating down
And making cracks in the ground

16
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:15,800
But there's nowhere else to stand

17
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,610
In Mesopotamia
(No one's ever seen us)

18
00:01:19,610 --> 00:01:23,199
The kingdom where we secretly reign
(And no one's ever heard of our band)

19
00:01:23,199 --> 00:01:25,520
The land where we invisibly rule

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,330
As the Mesopotamians

21
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:34,530
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh


22
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:37,139
This is my last stick of gum

23
00:01:37,139 --> 00:01:41,209
I'm going to cut it up so
everybody else gets some

24
00:01:41,209 --> 00:01:43,100
Except for Ashurbanipal

25
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:49,210
Who says my haircut makes me
look like a Mohenjo-daren

26
00:01:49,210 --> 00:01:50,956
Hey, Ashurbanipal

27
00:01:50,956 --> 00:01:54,832
I'm a Mesopotamian

28
00:01:54,832 --> 00:02:01,701
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

29
00:02:01,701 --> 00:02:05,760
We're the Mesopotamians

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:12,740
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

31
00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:17,439
"Hey, man, I thought
that you were dead"

32
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,859
"I thought you crashed your car"

33
00:02:20,859 --> 00:02:29,089
"No, man, I've been right here this
whole time playing bass guitar

34
00:02:29,089 --> 00:02:30,910
"For the Mesopotamians"

35
00:02:30,910 --> 00:02:36,300
We're the Mesopotamians


36
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:41,230
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal

37
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,963
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh


38
00:02:48,963 --> 00:02:53,186
We're the Mesopotamians

39
00:02:53,186 --> 00:02:59,850
Sargon, Hammurabi,
Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
