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.

Guttermouth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ponder all the things ah that we could do
Like take-away some Chinese
And we'll make home brew
That's what we could do
When I think of us
I want o sell my car off
And I'll take the bus
And your brand new bust
[Chorus:] It's just you and me
How I wish we were Siamese
Joined together at the hip
Walking down the sunset strip
It's just you and me
You and me
You and me
[Chorus]
It's just you and me
Let's buy a little boat and head out to sea
The captain will marry us
We'll live so happily
Till we're lost at sea
[Chorus]
It's just you and me
You and me you and me uh huh
just you and me
It's just you and me
The song "Twins" by Guttermouth talks about a fantasy of being joined together with the person he is thinking of. The singer imagines all the things he could do with this person, like ordering Chinese and making home brew. He even considers selling his car and taking the bus just to tell strangers about the two of them. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer wishes they were Siamese twins joined at the hip, walking down Sunset Strip. They fantasize about getting married by a captain on a boat and living happily ever after until they are lost at sea. The song expresses a deep longing to be connected and committed to someone in a playful and humorous way.
The lyrics have different interpretations, but one way is to see this song as a critique of the limited human connection and the fantasy of an ideal relationship. The ideas presented in the song are exaggerated and may be interpreted as unrealistic, and this could be seen as a commentary on the impossibility of finding the perfect partner. Some could also view this song as a satire of the traditional idea of love and marriage. The absurdity of their fantasies is an allusion to the unrealistic expectations people have towards ideal love and the absurdity towards the traditional ideal of being inseparable with your partner.
