Television & Trash from Television & Trash by Brett Schieber
I wrote this song about someone who was on one of those bad reality tv shows. I was feeling very cynical about how bad/silly/disgusting/pandering behavior gets attention and fame in all kinds of media. I wrote it on the acoustic guitar, then got together with Gavin and we rocked it up.

Lyrics
Music television must have somehow blurred my vision
Steady image makes the decision, supply the beat,
make the incision to give us what we need now
Television and Trash - looks good, but it's meaningless
Television and Trash - fattening and contagious
Magazines and press clippings, they decorate her wall
That's what she wants to be, a star just like they are, she'll do what she needs to
Television and Trash - image over substance,
Television and Trash - we're all egomaniacs,
Television and Trash – it’s catchy but lifeless
Television and Trash – blatantly pandering
Television and Trash - plastic and soulless,
Television and Trash - but we love it anyway
