In March 1988 the student club Balbina housed the first show of Big Cyc, called "Uroczysta akademia na cześć 75-lecia wynalezienia damskiego biustonosza" (A solemn ceremony to celebrate the 75th anniversary of invention of women's brassiere). Big Cyc made successive songs, and in 1990 they published their first album, "Z partyjnym pozdrowieniem". The album became a hit in Poland and in short time Big Cyc became well-known in the country.
Successive songs and albums of Big Cyc took a sarcastic look on the reality of Polish politics and people. Often in ironic manner, the songs expose issues like problems of Polish youth, economic disproportions, drug addiction, or silliness of TV commercials. In 1996 Big Cyc published their seventh album, called "Z gitarą wśród zwierząt" (With guitar among animals), which contains the most famous song in history of band, Makumba, the stereotypical story of an African student in Poland.
Two newest albums of Big Cyc, "Świat według Kiepskich" (World according to Kiepscy) from 2000 and "Zmień z nami płeć" (Change your gender with us) from 2002 weren't very popular. Big Cyc switched to satirising politics - amongst others, they made the single "Złoty warkocz" (Golden praid) about Polish member of parliament Renata Beger. In late 2005 Big Cyc made a media furore in Poland with their controversial single titled "Moherowe berety" (Mohair berets), a commentary on vocal older generation in Poland, viewed by many younger people as old-fashioned (see Mohair berets).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Razem ukradliśmy księżyc, oszukałem was
Twardo ukrywałem prawdę jak spiżowy dzwon,
Że to wcale nie mój bliźniak tylko to mój klon.
Ref.
Atakują klony, będą nas miliony, dzisiaj Polska i Europa, jutro cały glob.
Atakują klony, będą nas miliony, kiedy władza w moich rękach rozmnażaniu stop.
Miliard takich samych ludzi, ale jeden mózg
Nie ma żadnej opozycji, został tylko Tusk
Wszyscy dzisiaj wyglądają świetnie tak jak ja
Tłumy klonów równym krokiem przemierzają świat.
Ref.
Atakują klony...
Ramię w ramię będzie kroczyć milion równych żon,
Żeby klona nie mógł skrzywdzić jego własny klon,
Już nie będzie terroryzmu, głodu, wojen, zła
Wszyscy przecież muszą myśleć tak jak brat i ja.

In Atakują Klony, Big Cyc talks about a dystopian future where cloning has taken over the world. The lyrics describe how people were convinced that the person they were interacting with was their friend or family member, but in reality, it was their clone. The singer, who is also a clone, admits to stealing the moon with his "twin" and keeping the truth hidden about his identity. The clones have taken over the world, and there is one leader, Tusk, who, like the rest of the clones, looks and thinks like the singer. They are a billion identical people, sharing one brain, and there is no opposition.
The chorus talks about how the clones are attacking and will multiply until they take over the world. The singer talks about how everyone will be forced to think like him and his "twin" and that this will result in the end of hunger, terrorism, wars, and evil. The song shows the dark side of human progression and how it could lead to a world where individuality is lost, and everything is controlled by those in power.

Ludzie w Polsce byli pewni, że to jest mój brat
People in Poland were certain that it was my brother
Razem ukradliśmy księżyc, oszukałem was
Together we stole the moon, I deceived you
Twardo ukrywałem prawdę jak spiżowy dzwon,
I firmly concealed the truth like a brass bell,
Że to wcale nie mój bliźniak tylko to mój klon.
That it was not my twin brother at all but my clone.
Atakują klony, będą nas miliony, dzisiaj Polska i Europa, jutro cały glob.
Clones are attacking, there will be millions of us, today Poland and Europe, tomorrow the whole world.
Atakują klony, będą nas miliony, kiedy władza w moich rękach rozmnażaniu stop.
Clones are attacking, there will be millions of us, when the power is in my hands, reproduction will stop.
Miliard takich samych ludzi, ale jeden mózg

Everyone today looks great just like me
Tłumy klonów równym krokiem przemierzają świat.
Crowds of clones traverse the world with equal steps.
Ramię w ramię będzie kroczyć milion równych żon,
A million equal wives will walk arm in arm,
Żeby klona nie mógł skrzywdzić jego własny klon,
So that a clone cannot harm its own clone,
Już nie będzie terroryzmu, głodu, wojen, zła
There will be no more terrorism, hunger, wars, evil,
Wszyscy przecież muszą myśleć tak jak brat i ja.
After all, everyone must think like my brother and me.

In Atakują Klony, Big Cyc talks, in a comical manner, about the lust for power of 2 biological twins who run one of the Polish political parties (Kaczyńscy brothers from law and justice party). At the beginning of the song its said one of them, in reality, wasn't a brother but a clone from the start. Stealing of a moon is a reference to when both brothers were kids and played roles in a movie titled 'O dwóch takich, co ukradli Księżyc' ('About two guys wo stole the moon').
A second verse describes a dystopian future where cloning has taken over the world and everyone is a clone of the initial 'brother' so there's only one mind controlling the flow of life now. Only one left in the opposition to them is Tusk (a leader of the opposing party).
The chorus talks about how the clones are attacking and will multiply until they take over the world. The speaker talks about how everyone will be forced to think like him and his "twin" and that this will result in the end of hunger, terrorism, wars, and evil. The song shows the dark side human lust for power (in this case prominently exhibited by Kaczyński brothers) and how it could lead to a world where individuality is lost, had only cloning capabilities were in their hands.
@Vlangusy
Niesamowite że po tylu latach Polska polityka nadal sprowadza się do Kaczyna kontra Tusk.
@grubas6674
Ludzie są głupie po prostu.
@tanczacyzesmerfami6832
To tylko pokazuje jak skuteczni są to politycy, szcgolnie tusk bez którego PO było dość bliskie rozpadu.
@paloszczak
Po prostu trafili na podatny grunt. Naturalnie występujące w Polsce podziały i wadliwy ustrój premiujący polaryzację.
@aleksanderkoprowski7135
Nareszcie oficjalna wersja i od razu teledysk i to w najlepszym możliwym momencie.
