Where else [can people presume things] so beautifully?
I notice changes in myself, here's the rundownPreviously, I thought I knew where I live - but I know nothing
I know the profile of my compatriots less and less
In this country of pragmatists with a philosophical bent
To me, everything is inclined, it's still leaning
Whatever they say to me - I only hear one word
Lines, rallies, wakes, or parties
Everywhere, there's a single phrase like a spell: 'if only'
Why 'if only', for God's sake, when
There’re so many phrases that have style and allure
That won't let you die here like that with no wings
Let's say, 'hey' or 'down with them'
I don't know, maybe it's the spelling that makes them fail
I'll throw a bone - both contain an 'h'
Whatever, they don't want false judgments here
My country has chosen 'if only' already
Although horizons aren't particularly wide here, poor tastes
(But) Where else can people presume things so beautifully?
Where else would such teeming masses follow the path of fantasy?
My entire country locked within 'if only'
Although horizons aren't particularly wide here, poor tastes
(But) Where else can people presume things so beautifully?
Where else would such teeming masses follow the path of fantasy?
My entire country locked within 'if only'
And everywhere, on each road I hear:
'If only we could circumvent this somehow'
'If only he didn't say such gibberish'
'If only I were younger, then sure'
'Perhaps my pathetic life would become exciting
If only Szczecin were located closer to Warsaw'
'I would go, if only my health were better'
'If only there were a kindergarten of the future here'
'If only I didn't overtake willy-nilly'
That's an 'if only' from the netherworld
'If only I had read the recipe before straining'
'If only I hadn't run away, if only I had known how to answer him'
'If only it wasn't a fucking defeat after defeat'
'If only the ones at the top had to live with my salary'
'If only there were no Russians, if only there were no Jews'
My entire country locked within 'if only'
[Chorus]
Although horizons aren't particularly wide here, poor tastes
(But) Where else can people presume things so beautifully?
Where else would such teeming masses follow the path of fantasy?
My entire country locked within 'if only'
The army of 'if only' stands at the gates, I feel like a prisoner
'Cause this isn't an attack anymore, it's a siege and
Everything that could have been simple
Twists to the critical level, 'cause our compatriots' ifonlying is out of control
They are now so eager to begin presuming
That they freeze with 'if only' on their lips
Where there are two Poles, there are three views and one hair
And they split it in four, five, six, seven
Or however many parts they get
As if each unused 'if only' was out to get revenge
As if each 'if only' was shining gold
Zealots of excuses, lovers of hypotheses
But if we strayed from the path for just a moment
And take a word that has a stronger pulse, more power
If only we breathed a bit of life in these sluggish cogs
If only for just a moment - right, 'if only'
[Chorus]
Although horizons aren't particularly wide here, poor tastes
(But) Where else can people presume things so beautifully?
Where else would such teeming masses follow the path of fantasy?
My entire country locked within 'if only'
Although horizons aren't particularly wide here, poor tastes
(But) Where else can people presume things so beautifully?
Where else would such teeming masses follow the path of fantasy?
My entire country locked within 'if only'
