jmketcham - they might be giants’s “the mesopotamians” lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
we’re the mesopotamians
sargon
hammurabi
ashurbanipal
and gilgamesh

[verse 2]
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 d-mn
maybe when the concrete
has crumbled to sand

[chorus]

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]

[verse 4]
this is my last stick of gum
i’m gonna cut it up so everybody
else gets some
except for ashurbanipal
who says my haircut
make me look like
a mohenjo daroin
hey ashurbanipal!
[chorus 2x]

[middle eight]
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 b-ss guitar
for the mesopotamians

[chorus 3x]
