​The Mesopotamians
They Might Be Giants
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…
