The Darling Martians are just that: Darling little green things from Mars. We don't have fingers. How am I typing this, you ask? I have special Martian technology called "IBM ViaVoice". I'll bet you didn't know that it was Martian technology, did you? The Darling Martians are fronted by Bob. We are a virtual group, combining vocalists and instrumentalists from across the Martian planet to play a variety of music.

Story behind the song

I just pictured a mattress tag being torn off by the consumer.

Lyrics

Tear It Off

Tear it, tear it off
That tag on the mattress that you bought.
You've got, got the right,
And you won it by the wars that you fought.

It says, "Don't do", but you do
So go do it, but keep your point of view.
Don't jump off the cliff
'Cause the others say their jumping off too.

 Look at me
 I'm cryin'
 'Cause the time that I spent
 I spent dyin'
 Perfectly
 I tried too hard
 To be different, but I'm just the same.
 Tear it off

Wake up, smell the beat
Don't get out, or you'll land off your feet.
Protest all you want
I hope you like the fire, 'cause you got the heat.

Throw stuff and complain
But you're not doing a thing for the game
Burn stuff and destroy
For the army that never came.
