Construction & Destruction - The Volume Wars Lyrics

The boot is on the other foot
Guiding us up the garden path
Compressing volume and mass
Leading us further on from the past

Spectres of transient peaks abound
Laying structures into air and ground

The boot is on the other foot
Guiding us up the garden path
A crude gain hovers on top
Leading us up with hisses and pops

Remnants of phantom powers abound
Arcing current into air and ground

I rode the fader because you were getting lost
I pulled back kick and snare and bass 'til I heard you
I'm spending seasons searching, trying to locate you
And now you're backing off and you aren't coming through

I showed you how it's really got to come from here
And hit the diaphragm plosive and sincere
You keep retreating and I'm trying to locate you
I've hit the ceiling seeking, trying to locate you

I've hit the ceiling and I'm trying to locate you
I've hit the ceiling searching, trying to locate you
The boot is on the other foot!
I've hit the ceiling seeking, trying to locate you
I've hit the ceiling and I'm trying to locate you
The boot is on the other foot

The boot is on the other foot
