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
Good day to you, Brave New World Prepare to see the flag unfurled Youre about to hear the truth be told Looks so dirty and foul When its stripped of its gold Theres a skull with bones on the woven cloth Watch the lion morph into a Behemoth All that majesty is just a travesty A shape shifting trick in its depravity Presented as the Masters of Civilization But lo and behold, its just an abomination When the mask comes off all that glory falls Just suit-clad gangsters Behind marble walls You may step out and call it a conspiracy Youll be swiftly accused of rabid lunacy Get labeled as a danger if you choose to dissent Thats how the minds controlled By the one percent - Its all about the Benjamins They guarantee injustice wins War and hunger we all know who grins Their masquerade wont hide their sins Go ahead, call them out, youll pay the price Youll never say that same thing twice The Masters of Money maintain their rise Shut up, step down, hush hush, dont frown Just smile and keep echoing all their lies - Dont touch the system, its sacred, just leave it be Only the chosen can decide what the world may see They keep repeating the lies till theyre reality Dont stand out in the crowd Youll be strung up on a tree Speak Truth to Power and youll feel its teeth Better get in line, if youre inclined to breathe You want to get on your horse, your sword unsheathed Youll be an unsung hero Who lies buried beneath - Forget moral values, man they dont really count Your value is only measured by your moneys amount You may well be a peasant, hell you may be a Prince Your lifes worth as much As your obedience I may be speaking in words that you dont understand But read between the lines and youll slap my hand High-five to the folks who dare to take a stand Retributions the solution That can save the land Lets start a revolution and see who wins
