Seppo herää putkasta, mitä taas on tullut tehtyä
Naapurikämpässä tehdään pommia
Putkan ovi aukeaa laulaen, vankka poliisi siellä tuijottaa
Seppoo ankarasti nuhdellaan
Ei kannata joutuu putkaan
Kun ei kumminkaan muista miksi siellä on
Ei kannata joutuu putkaan
Kun ei kumminkaan muista miksi siellä on

Seppo herää putkasta, mitä taas on tullut tehtyä
Naapuriputkassa tehdään pommia
Putkan ovi aukeaa laulaen, vankka poliisi siellä tuijottaa
Seppoo ankarasti nuhdellaan
Seppoo nuhdellaan, Seppoo nuhdellaan, ou-jee
Ei kannata joutuu putkaan
Kun ei kumminkaan muista miksi siellä on
Ei kannata joutuu putkaan
Kun ei kumminkaan muista miksi siellä on

The song "Turha juttu" by Klamydia talks about a common theme in music, which is the consequences of getting in trouble with the law. In this case, Seppo wakes up in jail not remembering what he did to get there. The lyrics are a reminder that there are no benefits to getting in trouble with the law, and that it is better to avoid such situations. The repetition of "ei kannata joutuu putkaan" (it's not worth ending up in jail) emphasizes this idea.
The song also references the neighbor who is making a bomb in the adjacent cell, adding to the chaotic and dangerous situation Seppo finds himself in. The police officer in charge is sternly lecturing him, demonstrating the serious nature of the circumstances.
Overall, "Turha juttu" delivers an anti-crime message using catchy phrases and simple instrumentals, making it a popular singalong for fans of Finnish rock music. The song captures the relatable fear and regret that comes with getting in trouble with the law and serves as a reminder to stay out of trouble.
