it was 53 bc following hammurabis code
in this ancient civilization
she was seventeen shes my wife did everything
if not than she would be tossed in the river
ahhhh ahhh ahhh
ahhhh ahhh ahhh

sacrificing things like fudge bars
or the gods would be real angry
its a simple life of following orders
we didnt have no internet
but man i never will forget
the way we crafted lots of tools with our hands

and you know our fashion stinks
personality is rigged
making stuff out of some clay for our favorite gods
seeking wisdom from the scriptures
becuase it is our nature were
singing sweet home mesapatamia
all sumer long




farming by the persian gulf
digging irregation ditches
the god will forever hold a spot in the ziggurat
were farming in the sun
and were part of polytheism
and hit with unpredictible flooding silt


hope to join the upper class
and hang out with the preist
making love out by euphrates and babylon
children paying debts to parents
by working till the dawn yeah
sining sweet home mesapatamia
all sumer long



now everything is strange it is 2350 bc
oh this would be the day it all would end
now everything is all wrong
this is worse than cheach and chong
and yeah man were really getting attacked again

and now the guy by the name of sargon
with his akkadians
establishing there empire in babylon
spreadin his culture with no sorrow
there will be no tommorow oh

singing good bye mesapatamia
all summer long(2)

singing oh sweet hammurabi
oh sumers gone(3)

singing good bye mesapatamia
all summer long
