You can also INVALID -- Facebook Badge END -- Because of their reliance on a unique combination of politically critical lyrics and catchy beats and melodies, some of these songs managed to penetrate into mainstream Dutch media, most markedly the song 'Balken van Ellende' - a satirical song about the Dutch prime minister - which ended up being used in a news quiz on national television, where two questions were asked about the song (see videos). He also played all instruments and vocals on all songs, except on the album (produced by the African American producer Forrest Thomas) and on the Dutch song 'Doe Maar Multicultureel'. In these songs, Doc Jazz collaborated with prominent professionals from the Dutch jazz and fusion scene.

A Palestinian short shepherd's flute called the is also often featured in the songs. One last note: don't assume the music of Doc Jazz is only political! If you scroll through the vast collection of songs, you will find many songs about other subjects of love, and of life!

Lyrics
Our revolution is never televised The real solution is never advertised Our dedication is always demonized But justice will not be compromised So Watch Out !!! You better Run for Your Life If you wanna destroy Palestine You better Run for Your Life If you demolish our Holy Shrine You better Run for Your Life If you scheme to take all that is mine You better Run for Your Life Run for Your Life, because you're totally out of line If you only know taking, and you never heard of giving If greed is your creed, and you give no rights to the living If you got no intention to share, why expect me to care If you rape the word 'peace', you'll see the release of the innocent's rage If you say u are superior, don't expect me to fear ya You will see what is real yeah, when I force you on your knees If you insist to be racist, well let's see if you can face this Cause we got nothing to lose, and the strength to defuse all the wars you wage Committing murder in impunity, while causing strife and disunity But our honorable community, will yet prove its immunity Against your hatred-infection, solution-rejection, racial selection, criminal perfection Cause we got nothing to lose, and the will to refuse all the schemes you stage Some will say we are violent, but they're the same who are silent When you brutally murder, and they hope you will go further But don't they know the tide will turn, don't they know your flag will burn It is our right to return, and you will learn to yearn for justice in this age
