They Might Be Giants - The Mesopotamians lyrics

We've been driving around From one end of this town To the other and back But no one's ever seen us Driving our Econoline van And no one's ever heard of our band We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh And they wouldn't understand a word we say So we'll scratch it all down into the clay Half-believing there will sometime come a day Someone gives a damn Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh The Mesopotamish sun is beating down And making cracks in the ground But there's nowhere else to stand In Mesopotamia (But no one's ever seen us) The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band) 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 ba** guitar For the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh
