The lyrics that come to mind instantly for me are all written by David Bazan. He was/is a few bands: Pedro the Lion, Headphones, and now just tours as David Bazan. He has a handful of excellent albums, each with fantastic lyrics often about drinking, marriage and family, and corporate culture. If you don't know him, I'd try Control first.

  So he takes another drink
  Cause watching the scenery bleed
  into each similar scene
  isn't as sweet
  as it had been in his dream.

  From Cold Beer and Cigarettes

I hadn't heard of David Bazan or any of his bands before. Pedro the Lion has a great sound. Thanks for introducing me!
