[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Mau bikin usaha
Harus lewat sini, lewat sana
Meja sini, meja sana
Sogok sini, sogok sana
Izin sini, izin

[Chorus]
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Mau punya jabatan
Pake topeng ini, topeng itu
Sikut sini, sikut situ
Bual ini, bual itu
Jilat sini, jilat

[Chorus]
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex

[Hook]
Sistem memang sistem
Tapi jangan ngerepotin
Sistem cuma sistem
Tapi jangan ngerepotin

[Verse 3]
Mau menuntut hak
Dibelokin sini, belok sana
Lempar sini, lempar sana
Blokir sini, blokir sana
Ngadu sini, ngadu

[Chorus]
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex
Komplex
Birokrasi komplex

[Fade Out]

Slank was formed in 1983 through a school band at a local high school in Slank Jakarta, Indonesia, which named CSC (Cikini Stone Complex). Their main founder, Bimo Setiawan (Bimbim) and their fellow bandmates often played a number of Rolling Stones songs at school. The band later changed its name and personnel to SLANK, with Bimbim on drums, Erwan on vocals, Bongky on guitars, Denny on bass and Kiki on guitars. The name SLANK itself was taken from their musical attitude, which was, and is still reckless, ignorant and play with undetailed groove (Slengean in Indonesian).

In the following years, numbers of personnel changes were made, with Pay on guitars, Kaka on vocals and Indra on keyboard, replacing the previous bandmates.

Although they started their journey in the music industry quite roughly, with numerous of rejected demos, SLANK emerged in 1991 with their “The Best Newcomer” award in BASF event. Successes did not always come for SLANK, when three of their personnel, Bongky, Indra and Pay chose to quit the band, and formed their own band (BIP). Following the resignation, Abdee, Ivan and Ridho joined the band, and since then, SLANK has never changed its personnel again.
