This is the complete song collection of the music composed by the Palestinian surgeon and self-taught musician Doc Jazz.

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. His music can be found in a wide variety of styles ranging from piano ballads to funky music with a groove and with a taste of Doc Jazz's characteristic rock guitar solos (and on 'Front Door Key' the mesmerizing saxophone solos of Susanne Alt) - in three languages:. 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
We can't go on living life under oppression We can't go on allowing violent dispossession And we can't go on accepting murderous invasion 'Cause we are done trying softness and persuasion Choose now But our choice must be this We resist therefore we exist Free Palestine, is the life I live it's the song I sing, it's the love I give Free Palestine, is the choice I make it's that wretched devil's law I break We can't go on accepting racist institutions We can't go on, looking for compromise solutions And we can't go on, delaying vital revolutions Cause we are done believing UN resolutions Choose now But our choice must be this We resist therefore we exist Free Palestine, is what it will be In the vision of freedom that I see Free Palestine, is my way of life So that truth and justice will survive We can't go on accepting violence and destruction This can't go on, illegal settlement construction And we can't go on, with those useless condemnations And that's why this song, is a freedom declaration Choose now But our choice must be this We resist therefore we exist Free Palestine, is what it will be In the vision of freedom that I see Free Palestine, is my way of life So that truth and justice will survive RAP: Free Palestine Free all that's mine Keep your hands off off our holy shrine Free the P right now It should be right now Its way overdue And I'm calling you Stop injustice now Got to trust somehow That we will all be free In prosperity Free my country now Hear your conscience now I am calling you To get active too

Yes we RESIST! A protest song the way they should be. Not noise, but subtlety, without sacrificing even one bit of power and determination. I don't know how you do it.
