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
They came with their power and their might They never cared what was wrong or right Creating the empire of their dreams But sometimes the truth aint what it seems There is a reason for this pain That's how it feels when you only seek your gain Go back to where you once came from Leave whats not yours to whom it belongs Cause it's a fake A crazy dream They're building castles in the sky You can be my guest, but not my king Trying to enslave me is a foolish thing Do you believe this dream will last? Have you learned nothing from the past There is a reason for this pain That's how it feels when you only seek your gain Go back to where you once came from Leave whats not yours to whom it belongs Cause it's a fake A crazy dream They're building castles in the sky You cant just take what is not yours Indulge in your theft without remorse Do you sleep at night Are you satisfied Or are you terrified Are you petrified That the people are going to claim their right You can't build a castle in the sky You can't build the truth upon a lie What seems so strong can crumble away Its a house of cards and the sky looks grey The storm will come Just wait and see You will have to face Reality
