[Intro]
*mumbling*

[Verse 1]
Berenang di tepi pantai
Banyak minyak, sampah, dan kotoran
Aku nyebur menerjang ombak
Bikin lengket badan dan rambut
Lepas kail tepi sungai
Airnya coklat dan berbusa
Tak ada ikan yang nyangkut
Malah bikin gatel kulit dan bau

[Hook 1]
Lautku nggak biru nggak biru lagi
Sungaiku nggak jernih nggak jernih lagi
Alamku nggak bagus nggak bagus lagi

[Verse 1]
Lereng dan pegunungan
Penuh lapangan golf dan villa
Nggak ada yang nahan air
Bikin banjir kota-kota
Lihat hutan dari pesawat
Mana solusi Indonesia?
Imagiku hutan rimba
Yang ada botak dan tandus

[Hook 1]
Gunungku nggak hijau nggak hijau lagi
Hutanku nggak lebat nggak lebat lagi
Alamku nggak bagus nggak bagus lagi
Alamku nggak perawan nggak perawan lagi

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.
