yeah. they're pretty great.

i love this song. my social studies teacher in grade school played this song when we were learning about ancient mesopotamia. although the lyrics are really goofy i think they are pretty straight forward. mesopotamia is the "craddle of civilization" there were ziggurat pyramids there and those ruins still exist. laying down the law probably refers to 'hammurabi's code' which is the first text of laws ever recorded that dates from that time period. ha im such a dork!

great song great band!
