Song Review: La La La Kerjalah

This is a catchy song from Meet Uncle Hussein, a rather famous Malaysian band that I listen to. Basically the gist of the song is about how this person worries about not having a job after graduation and his degree is merely an ornament for the wall, he finally secured a job and felt relieved but he then realized that it doesn't seem as glamorous as it sounds and sooner or later his work becomes extremely repetitive that he starts complaining how boring it is, in reality he has no choice but to stick to the job because he needs the money. How honest!

That's kinda how everything works right now eh? If you want to survive you might have to stick to what you don't always enjoy doing - like for instance, studying for a degree. Seriously, even if you have skills that pay the bills, what's even more important is to get hired for these skills! I couldn't agree more. I design, I sing, I write songs and I think I'm pretty talented in them - but hey, tonnes of other people are trying to get their skills and talents noticed so I'm not unrealistic to think that I'm going to ditch everything else and focus just on these. I'll starve to death before I even churn out a one hit wonder.

I love this song, it depicts the reality well without sounding too intimidating. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ooh! Pening kepala
Memikirkan tak ada kerja
Tanam Anggur
Sijil diploma
Ah! Gantung didinding saja

Ooh! Lega rasanya
Jawat kerja pegawai pemasaran
Di Pertama
Rupa, oh! Rupanya
Kerja am sajaaa!

La La La Laaa… La, hari-hari kerja!
La La La Laaa… Bosan dengan kerja, haha!
La La La Laaa… La, hidup harus kerja, kerja!
La La La Laaa… La, hari-hari kerja!
La La La Laaa… Bosan dengan kerja, haha!
La La La Laaa… La, hidup harus kerja, kerja!

Ooh! Terpinga-pinga
Tak puas lagi beradu, mengantuk
Subuh hingga senja
Ah! Hari-hari sama saja

Ah! Nak bancuh kopi
Tapi gulanya tiada, minum saja
Kerja bagai nak gila
Ah! Tak juga kayaaa!

La La La Laaa… La, hari-hari kerja!
La La La Laaa… Bosan dengan kerja, haha!
La La La Laaa… La, hidup harus kerja, kerja!
La La La Laaa… La, hari-hari kerja!
La La La Laaa… Bosan dengan kerja, haha!
La La La Laaa… La, hidup harus kerja, kerja!

Gelisah, kugelisah
Mengenangkan masa depan
Kuharus kerja
Oh! Mesti kerja
Tiada apa yang percuma
Realiti tika tiada kerja
Oh! Papa kedanaaa!

La La La Laaa… La, hari-hari kerja!
La La La Laaa… Bosan dengan kerja, haha!
La La La Laaa… La, hidup harus kerja, kerja!
La La La Laaa… Hari-hari kerja!
La La La Laaa… Bosan dengan kerja, haha!
La La La Laaa… La, hidup harus kerja, kerja!
