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 / Then 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 / The Mesopotamish sun is beating down / And making cracks in the ground / But there’s nowhere else to stand / In Mesopotamia (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, man, I thought that you were dead / I thought you crashed your car” / “No, man, I’ve been right here this whole time playing bass guitar / For the Mesopotamians”
