The lyrics and music of Slank’s song “Gosip Jalanan” (Word on the Street).
Slank, in the jungle.
Slank’s “controversial” ditty “Gossip Jalanan”, which, because of the second last verse, had parliamentarians in Jakarta threatening to sue him for besmirching the good name of the DPR. They dropped their plans after the arrest of Al Amin Nur Nasution.

The lyrics:
Pernah kah lo denger mafia judi
Katanya banyak uang suap polisi
Tentara jadi pengawal pribadiApa lo tau mafia narkoba
Keluar masuk jadi bandar di penjara
Terhukum mati tapi bisa ditundaSiapa yang tau mafia selangkangan
Tempatnya lendir-lendir berceceran
Uang jutaan bisa dapat perawan
Kacau balau 2X negaraku iniAda yang tau mafia peradilan
Tangan kanan hukum di kiri pidana
Dikasih uang habis perkaraApa bener ada mafia pemilu
Entah gaptek apa manipulasi data
Ujungnya beli suara rakyatMau tau gak mafia di senayan
Kerjanya tukang buat peraturan
Bikin UUD ujung-ujungnya duitPernahkah gak denger teriakan Allahu Akbar
Pake peci tapi kelakuan barbar
Ngerusakin bar orang ditampar-tampar
