Phil Cook & The Fall Dogs are thrilled to announce the release of their new single “THE KING OF MARS” from their upcoming EP Ni Hao Ni Hao!
You know the type. Tech-zillionaires with God complexes and zero empathy. The kind of clowns who could solve half the world’s problems before breakfast, but instead blow their fortunes playing intergalactic dress-up and chasing Martian pipe dreams. This track? It’s a molotov cocktail lobbed straight at their smug, space-suited heads.
No hand-wringing, no metaphors—it calls them out with the subtlety of a boot to the teeth. It’s all midnight pulse and scorched-synth swagger. Crank it in the car with the windows down, pound it out at the gym until your lungs give out, or let it shatter the floorboards of your sketchiest 2AM haunt. It slaps, it snarls, it gets it. Rich creeps beware—this one’s coming for your gold-plated throats. Pop punk pointed right at the heart of the problem and showing no remorse.
LYRICS
The King of Mars
Now, therefore, by the power vested in me by the citizens of the known universe I hereby pronounce you - the king of mars
Now I don’t see a straight line
from me to the money
But I wouldn’t spend my time
Just counting it honey
Yeh Id build me a space ship
And I’d enter the race
Yeah I’d help further mankind
From out there in space
The king of mars the king of mars
Id buy my place amongst the stars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars
Id pave the whole damn thing for cars
the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
Yeah just like in sci-fi
Cause I know that it’s true
It’ll be just like the fifties
An objectivists view
Yeah here in the valley
We’re the proud and the few
Some call us shallow
But we’re thinking bout you
The king of mars the king of mars
Id buy my place amongst the stars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars
Id pave the whole damn thing for cars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
Well I know that you’re hungry
And homeless and poor
But I know that the answer
It’s up there for sure
It’s buried in red sand
Far away from the sun
Until then don’t panic
And just have some fun
The king of mars the king of mars
Id buy my place amongst the stars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars
Id pave the whole damn thing for cars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars
Id buy my place amongst the stars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars
Id pave the whole damn thing for cars the king of mars
The king of mars the king of mars the king of mars
So good to be King…
