And no one's ever heard of our band

We're the Mesopota- mi -  ans

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh

So we'll scratch it all down into the clay

And making cracks in the ground

In Mesopotamia, (No one's ever seen us)

     Bb               F     Bb       C
The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)

F#m                          B                C                  A
