2. "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"
-Lyrics from "The Mesopotamians" by "
They Might Be Giants".
