Tysiące aktywistów
Setki polityków
Nasza pani od biologii
Oni wszyscy robią wszystko
By ratować nasz gatunek
Lecz gatunek nie jest godzien
Takiego zamieszania
Obudziłem się dnia pewnego
I pojąłem nagle, że
Nie rozumiem tu niczego
I poszedłem dalej spać
Nowa baza wirusów
Zaktualizowana
Nowa wojna jak serial
Leci w telewizji
Nowy skandal polityczny
Od rana dzisiaj mamy
Nie zapomnij zrobić kawy
W przerwie na reklamy
Obudziłem się dnia pewnego
I pojąłem nagle, że
Nie rozumiem tu niczego
I poszedłem dalej spać
The song "Gatunek" by Leniwiec is a commentary on the current state of the world and the efforts being made to preserve and protect the human species. The first verse highlights the numerous groups that are working toward this goal, including scientists, activists, and politicians, and the efforts they are making to save our species. However, the chorus suggests that perhaps all this attention and effort may be misguided, as the human species is not worthy of such attention.
The second verse takes a more cynical tone, pointing out the constant stream of news and updates that bombard us today, from new virus outbreaks to political scandals. The line "Nie rozumiem tu niczego" (I don't understand anything here) reflects a sense of helplessness and confusion in the face of this information overload, and the final line "poszedłem dalej spać" (I went back to sleep) suggests a desire to escape from it all.
Overall, the song seems to suggest that while efforts to protect our species are noble, perhaps it is the flawed nature of humanity itself that is the real problem.
