They're completely dead and have been rehashing the same stuff over and over again and their lyrics get more silly and dumbed down with every release.

I don't know, there's stuff they have written lyrically on HAND and LH that is actually fairly graceful. Whole Lotta' Leaving, Novocaine, Memory...those are proper 'grown up' songs I find and have no problem listening to them.

For most of it, you are right. When I hear Work for the Working Man (luckily not often), I want to beat them up. That's lyrics written by a cretin.
