Generation YouPorn Lyrics in English Faber

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Generation YouPorn by Faber from German to English.
Generation YouPorn, but you don't jump naked into the lake
You'd like to make love, but you don't know how
You've seen the world
You fly to Lima on vacation
And to China for a climate conference
It's so nice, you understand the world so well
Generation testo shots and wank in front of the mirror
And snort in front of the mirror
Generation earn a lot
Security
Shoot yourself in the head with your pettiness
Bridge
It's so nice, you understand the world so well
I'm lying in a ditch with four per mille by accident
Haven't seen anything else for seven years
I'm glad you exist, so you can explain the world to me
I'm so dumb, I don't even know who I am
I'm so dumb, I can't handle any of this anymore
I'm so dumb, I can't understand any of it at all
I'm glad you exist, so you can explain the world to me
And drive to the gym by car to ride a bike there
By car to the organic store, you buy local
They say the good die young, old is the new young
They say the connection is funny but I'm too dumb for that
Bridge
It's so nice you understand the world so well
I'm lying in a ditch with four per mille by accident
Haven't seen anything else for seven years
I'm glad you exist, so you can explain the world to me
I'm so dumb, I don't even know who I am
I'm so dumb, I can't handle any of this anymore
I'm so dumb, I can't understand any of it at all
I'm so dumb, I don't even know who I am
I'm so dumb, I can't handle any of this anymore
I'm so dumb, I can't understand any of it at all
I'm glad you exist, so you can explain the world to me

SONG MEANING

Generation YouPorn is Faber’s cheeky yet cutting snapshot of a generation that knows everything and nothing at the same time. In rapid-fire images he shows us people who jet to climate conferences, drive to the gym only to ride a stationary bike, and shop for local produce from the comfort of an idling car. There is a constant tug-of-war between wanting real intimacy and settling for online porn, between chasing high salaries and feeling spiritually bankrupt, between preaching eco-awareness and living carbon-heavy lifestyles. Every line drips with irony, inviting us to laugh at the absurdity while wincing at how familiar it all feels.

Beneath the satire lies a raw confession: “Ich bin so dumm” — I’m so dumb. The narrator staggers through life drunk, overwhelmed, and desperate for someone to “explain the world” to him. This repeated plea exposes the insecurity that often hides behind curated social-media confidence. Faber ultimately points a mirror at us, asking whether our endless options and information have really made us wiser, or simply more confused. The song is both a party anthem and a wake-up call, reminding listeners that self-awareness is the first step toward breaking free from modern contradictions.
