The Ocean has the lyric "I felt the world could go far if they'd listen to what I said" - that's as juvenile as it gets!
And Joshua Tree for me innocence-wise is definitely Still Haven't Found.

The hardest ones for me to pick an 'innocence' from were the 90s albums -- Pop has NONE, I think, I just went with Miami because it's not a very 'serious' song -- and, perhaps strangely, HTDAAB. I think The Joshua Tree was the tipping point where experience outweighed innocence.
Yes, I know that the first word of Wire is 'innocence,' but it isn't a very innocent song, is it?
