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.
Perfect World
Guttermouth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would spend my days lying in the sun
The party never ends in a perfect world
If your life has hit the skids
Wave goodbye to the wife & kids
I?m ready to move in to a perfect world
Nacho cheese and anarchy
Boy that sure sounds good to me
In the new America
Shoot your pistol in the air
Celebrate a brand new year
Living leisurely in a perfect world
Everybody?s drinking hams
Good by all you straight edge bands
Sit around and get a tan
In the new America
When I turn on my t.v.
Nothing but pornography
No more rated g in a perfect world
Strung out hookers everywhere
Have a picnic feed the bears
Now nobody even cares
In the new America
Nothing in this worlds for free
Cause everything belongs to me
No more green fees in a perfect world
The Guttermouth's song Perfect World paints a vivid and sarcastic picture of a world devoid of any problems, a utopia of sorts where people spend their days lounging under the sun and partying without a care in the world. The lyrics talk about an ideal society where every drug is legal, everybody is drunk, and no one cares about green fees for playing golf. The singer sarcastically hints that this new America is a place where wave goodbye to family, shoot pistols in the air, and watch nothing but pornography on TV. The song is a cynical commentary on consumerism and a society where people are looking for the next big thing to fulfill their lives.
The lyrics of the song Perfect World are a satire of consumerism in America. The song indulges in the concept of a utopian world, which is the outcome of a highly capitalist society where everything is money-driven. The lyrics present a picture of America where everything is for sale and where the spirit of individuality and selflessness is long gone. The song argues that in the new America, people are more self-centered, and individualism is preferred over group interests. The Guttermouth's lyrics challenge the very notion of consumerism and its correlation with happiness.

If I lived in a perfect world
In an ideal world, where everything is perfect
I would spend my days lying in the sun
I would relax and bask in the sunlight all day long
The party never ends in a perfect world
A perfect world is one where the fun never stops
If your life has hit the skids
If your life has gone downhill
Wave goodbye to the wife & kids
Leave your family behind and move on
I?m ready to move in to a perfect world
I am ready to leave my old life behind and embrace a new perfect life
Nacho cheese and anarchy
A chaotic and indulgent lifestyle
Boy that sure sounds good to me
I find that very appealing
Every kind of drug is free
All drugs are available for free

Everybody?s drinking hams
Everyone is enjoying cheap beer
Good by all you straight edge bands
Saying goodbye to abstainers of drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous behavior
Sit around and get a tan
Lazily sitting in the sun to get a tan
In the new America
In the new perfect world
When I turn on my t.v.
When I watch television
Nothing but pornography
Only pornographic content is shown
No more rated g in a perfect world
In a perfect world, there is no room for wholesome, family-friendly entertainment
Strung out hookers everywhere
Prostitutes are present and visibly desperate for drugs
Have a picnic feed the bears
Having a picnic with the dangerous, wild animals
Now nobody even cares
In a perfect world, there is no responsibility or accountability for one's actions
In the new America
In the new perfect world
Nothing in this worlds for free
In the real world, nothing comes without a cost
Cause everything belongs to me
In a perfect world, everything is mine and I am in control
No more green fees in a perfect world
In a perfect world, there are no fees to pay for access to golf courses
