nine steps

they lose respect--------
                            try to make
amends ---==
turn                    it up

            
turn it
up


<<its not something you should have to earn to pay your dues>>
through
back stabs and outright lies and people without a point
and those who swore that the
gimics
                                      would             fail
come back with a
                                              
stab
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<and light up the silence)
egos crushed
----------------------
sworn to avenge
use                             a pen and
harsh words
,                      to put them at
ends
---_______
assumptions immediately made
                                         <<in the rock world>>>>>>>>
second guess the obvious
     <<<<<<<don't give a second chance>>
pencil to paper
                     ,,,,</you gotta earn your keep/>
freedom of the press
<<and
boo them off the stage again------------------------------------------
     
amplify                                                  their insecurites
draw                                      a thin line between hate and                                                                                            revenge
fight                                                    for an ear--------------- for someone to listen
the simple war                                          of
x and y
nine steps**
                 to earning your keep

(this song was written in regard to jillian and brea's old band who was never given a real chance or taken seriously by many people  because they were all female. an article was also written about them in kgb, which said that junction june was pretty good, like most girls, until they opened their mouths. this kind of sexism should not be tolerated, especially in a scene that is suppossed to be open-minded and progressive.. )
