[Intro]
Oooh!

[Verse 1]
Katanya kita orang kaya
Karena kita punya segala-galanya
Kata siapa
Kita orang ramah tamah
Karena kita slalu bermusyawarah
Kata siapa

[Chorus]
Ini hanya dalam dongeng saja (oooh)
Ini hanya dalam dongeng saja
Cerita orang tua

[Verse 2]
Kita orang yang paling beradab
Karena kita slalu taat beragama
Kata siapa
Kita orang yang paling adil
Apalagi sama orang-orang kecil
Kata siapa

[Chorus]
Ini cuma khayalan saja
Ini cuma khayalan saja
Karangan orang tua

[Interlude]
Woy, minggir!

[Chorus]
Ini hanya dalam dongeng saja (oooh)
Ini cuma khayalan saja
Karangan orang tua

[Chorus]
Ini hanya dalam dongeng saja (oooh)
Ini cuma khayalan saja
Karangan orang tua

[Outro]
Cuci kaki saja pada tidur semua
Biar kami saja yang jaga malam
Kalian sudah tua
Mundur!

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.
