In 2005 drummer Ty Smith left Guttermouth and was replaced by Ryan Farrell. Bass player Kevin Clark departed the following year and founding member Clint Weinrich returned to the group. This lineup recorded the band's tenth album Shave the Planet, released in 2006 by Volcom Entertainment. The album found the band once again using their brand of humorous punk rock to poke fun at a number of subjects. Although Weinrich remains a member of the band, Clark has since rejoined the group and handles most of the touring. In June 2008 Farrell announced that Sheldon had left the band to focus on his family, having recently had a fourth child. The band's official Myspace profile lists Sheldon's replacement as Dave Luckett, with Donald Horne being replaced by Hunter Munich. In December 2008 Adkins announced that the band had returned to Hopeless Records, one of their first record labels, in celebration of their 20th Anniversary, and that Guttermouth is working on a new album. A further line-up change occurred in 2009, when Munich was replaced by Brandon Zinkil.
After a hiatus and further controversy on a 2013 tour, singer Adkins moved to Mexico and reformed the band in 2015.
Guttermouth with Bird Attack Records and Rude Records released Got it Made, a six song EP.
My Town
Guttermouth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is a place you'll never come in last
My town
Is a place that's upside down
My town
Is a place you'll always have a full glass
Once upon a time in a fabricated land
There lived a town that was custom made for
The chosen few and they held their flag up high
Though colored black
Red was the color of their sky
If you want in, you want in, you want in
But to get in, to get in, to get inside
No parent no fences no credit cards
No data no children no lowered cars
Culture wears a face that is hidden with a grin
The Jones' left so no keeping up with them
The rumors are that nobody thinks the same
Fame is abolished so you'll never need a name
If you want in, you want in you want in
But to get in, to get in to get inside
No teachers no kittens no wedding plans
No feelings no hunger, no hip hop jams
My town
My town oh oh oh
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Guttermouth's song "My Town" describe a utopian society that exists in a fabricated land. In this town, there are no rules or constraints and people are free to be themselves. The color of the sky is red, which is an inversion of the norm, and there are no barriers to entry. The song describes this place as a place where everyone has a full glass and no one is ever left behind.
The song seems to be a commentary on the current state of society, which is full of rules, regulations and societal norms that restrict individuals from expressing themselves. Guttermouth creates a picture of a place where all these rules have been abolished and anything is possible. The lyrics suggest that in this place, life is much simpler and more fulfilling.
Overall, "My Town" is a song that celebrates individuality, freedom, and self-expression. It urges people to break free from the constraints of society and find their own path in life. The song is an inspirational call to action for those who feel trapped in the mundanity of everyday life.

My town
Is a place you'll never come in last
My town
Is a place that's upside down
My town
Is a place you'll always have a full glass
My town
Once upon a time in a fabricated land
There lived a town that was custom made for
People not understood
The chosen few and they held their flag up high
Though colored black, red was the color of their sky
How do I get inside?
If you want in, you want in, you want in
But to get in, to get in, to get inside
People not understood
No parent no fences no credit cards
No data no children no lowered cars
How do I get inside?
Culture wears a face that is hidden with a grin
The Jones' left so no keeping up with them
People not understood
The rumors are that nobody thinks the same
Fame is abolished so you'll never need a name
How do I get inside?
If you want in, you want in you want in
But to get in, to get in to get inside
People not understood
No teachers, no kittens, no wedding plans
No feelings, no hunger, no hip hop jams
How do I get inside?
My town
My town, my town
My town
Is a place you'll never come in last
My town
Is a place that's upside down
My town
Is a place you'll always have a full glass
My town
