Punk Is Dad
Ohrbooten Lyrics

Wo sind die Punks, wo sind die Freaks, wo sind die ganzen Assis in meinem Kiez
The song starts with the artist lamenting about the disappearance of punk rockers, freaks, and weirdos from their neighborhood. They miss the colorful and diverse people who used to live there.

keine Punker, keine Junkies, keine Freaks, keine Hippies die Menschen laufen rum, wie bei "Sex in the City"
The artist observes that the streets are now filled with people who look and behave like the characters from the TV show "Sex and the City." The unique and alternative subcultures have been replaced by mainstream conformity.

wat wollen die hier, Frozen Yogurt - Bubbletea Es gibt kein Döner mehr und keine Anarchie
The artist questions why these new people in the neighborhood are interested in trendy, expensive snacks like frozen yogurt and bubble tea, while the traditional Turkish doner places and anarchic culture have disappeared.

früher gab es Pitbulls, die konnten alle beißen heute seh ich nur noch Pudel, mit einem Halbsteifen Herrchen sammelt Hundescheiße wie ein anständiger Deutscher
The artist remembers the days when there were fierce Pitbulls in the area, while now they only see small, harmless Poodles with their owners. They joke about how the owners pick up after their dogs with discipline like a typical German would.

Punk is Dad - mit dem Baby durch Kreuzberg
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Punk is Dad" several times, emphasizing the artist's new role as a father in the punk rock subculture. They picture themselves walking around with their baby in the alternative, bohemian neighborhood of Kreuzberg.

Früher wollten sich am 1. Mai alle noch verdreschen heute kaufen sie die Wohnung, anstatt sie zu besetzen
The artist contrasts the current state of the neighborhood with the past, when people used to fight on May Day and occupy buildings. Now, they say, people just buy apartments instead of protesting against capitalism and the establishment.

früher gings um Bier und Randale heute gehts um Yoga und Bionade warum gucken die so doof, wenn ich mal einen kiff früher wurde auf diesem Spielplatz noch richtig schön gefixt
The artist reminisces about the old days when people used to drink beer and cause chaos, compared to the current trend of practicing yoga and drinking organic beverages like Bionade. They also comment on the negative reaction they receive when they smoke marijuana in public, and they miss the times when people used to have sex in public spaces like playgrounds.

Papa is adrett, früher war er mal ein Raudi Punk is Dad - mit dem Baby durch St. Pauli
The artist reflects on how they have changed from their wild past as a punk rocker to a respectable dad. They imagine taking their baby around the alternative district of St. Pauli.

Früher warst du Real Alter ein echter Straßenheld, doch dein Iro musste ab, wegen deinem Fahrradhelm früher gings bei uns immer um Gangs und Styles, heute gehts um Kunstapps und Rent-a-Bike
The artist mentions how times have changed from the days when they used to be a true street hero with a mohawk, to now needing to wear a bicycle helmet. They also express sadness for the shift from gangs and personal style to apps about art and renting bikes.

Ich hab dich gesehen, du Verräter, du Opfer das System hat dich gefickt und deine Tochter Punk is Dad - mit dem Baby durch Kreuzberg
The artist accuses people who have given in to the mainstream culture of being traitors and victims of the system. They believe that the system has taken advantage of these people and also hurt their daughters. They repeat the chorus once again, emphasizing the punk rock image of a father with a baby in Kreuzberg.

Wo sind die Punks, wo sind die Freaks, wo sind die ganzen Assis in meinem Kiez Punk is Dad
The song ends the same way it began, with the artist yearning for the return of the diverse subcultures that used to make up their neighborhood. The final repetition of "Punk is Dad" reflects the artist's embrace of punk rock as a family-oriented lifestyle.
