Some of the greatest lyricists of the 1960s and early '70s had their 'dumb fun' moments too. Check out Lennon & McCartney's 'Rocky Raccoon', Morrison's 'Do It', Reed's 'Ferryboat Bill' and 'Andy's Chest', Cohen's 'Queen Victoria' and 'Is That What You Wanted', etc.
A friend of mine once pointed out the dumbness of old Kiss lyrics--'She' in particular.
I also seem to recall some lines from '80s black metallers Bathory that went something like "Every night at midnight twelve, I read Satanic Bilble/Take off my clothes/Get into bed/Masturbate myself to death." Sounds like the narrator's early socialisation may have been a little flawed.
