Bands who need to grow up lyrically
What bands that you can think of sound like they never grew up. For me it's Jimmy Buffett (enough alcohol and partying songs already), Sammy Hagar (enough P**** songs already), and ZZ Top (enough alcohol, P****, and party songs already). Any others?

Good call on the blink one hehe. Aren't they like in their 30s now? Still with the potty jokes? That's like me still talking about Ejaculating on people's foreheads when I'm 30. Well....I guess that gives me about 9 years to get it out of my system, by then I might have moved onto Scat. Oops, went off on a tangent there.
Good call with Limp Bizkit, I was going to say them too, but then realized that I don't care hehe. I do care about Wes though, good thing he's outta there.

If the haters here and abroad would sit down with Blink 182's new disc, they'd find a completely different band than the one that recorded tracks like "When You ****ed Grandpa."
I've been a fan since the Dude Ranch days and absolutely love the new disc. How they can grow up or become much more mature is beyond me.

Just one example, from the Banana Wind CD. There are other, more recent examples, but this one is my favorite.
False Echoes, Jimmy Buffett
The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light
And the waterfront ritual began to ignite
All the ships in the harbour were warmed by the sun
Twenty-fifth of November, Nineteen twenty-one
On the old Chicamauga the signal jacks flew
And the message they spelled out caused a great ballyhoo
Every ship in Havana then hoisted away
All the pennants were flyin' on my dad's first birthday
(Chorus)
Enduring echoes call out from his past
Time ain't for savin', no, Time's not for that
Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
Now his storybook childhood was not make-believe
On the decks of a tallship he was taught to achieve
Witnessed storms and starvation, natural wonders and force
Oh, the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course
(Chorus)
Well, now life throws us curve balls we never can reach
He gave up the ocean but he lived by the beach
Where he raised up his family, taught us all to survive
Then the wind went away in 1995
Now the old Chicamauga has slipped by the way
She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay
Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near
They protect him and tell him there's nothing to fear
'Cause it's family tradition we take to the sea
And it's a time in the future for Cameron and me
(Chorus)
The skies over Cuba were warmed by the sun
Twenty-fifth of November, 1921
