Hello again Sir Prize and thank you for more VOB! Written when they were still in their teens, it could be seen as their most "dangerous" song, as it directly speaks out against their government (past and present). ORLA = ORDE LAMA = GOVERNMENT (1945 - 1966) ORBA = ORDE BARU = GOVERNMENT (1966 - 1998). This song contains their speaking out against the Government, which they consider does not provide good legal protection for musicians... Kentut is fart, Merdeka is Free (Freedom) ... In other words, I think for them Freedom (in this issue) is Bullsh*t Lyrics: "Reading the Music Bill is like reading ORLA's repression, reading ORBA's stench Musicians castrated, voices desecrated/humiliated, freedom imprisoned "It doesn't fit the nation's culture" he says "It also violates nature" he scolds Even though we are the children of all nations Even though we are free to express our opinions Confusingly the law is designed in a hurry, hesitant, rigid, passionate only to be a tool for satisfying lust. [chorus] Fart freedom, freedom is farting Fart obediently, fart properly Everything is forced, to hell with the works perishing As long as the important thing is that it's "proper" The critical are to be made apathetic The outspoken are to be restrained, silenced Thrown on the rotten lame past" Under the Music Bill (RUU Permusikan), which was being considered by parliament at the time (2019), creators would be “prohibited from including negative influences from foreign cultures or those that demean human dignity”. Offenders could face fines or jail time. Concerned musicians said the draft legislation was opaque and could be abused to silence political discourse and curb freedom of speech. It didn't pass, mainly due to a huge backlash from musicians and other advocates of free speech.
