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
Its a train Train of revolution Going on throughout the times Its a chain A chain of evolution But the spirit stays alive It cant be stopped By machines and guns Its the rythm of our lives The next generation keeps the spirit going strong And the struggle will survive Its the rain The rain of revolution Raining down on all mankind To end the pain And find a real solution To injustice and Apartheid We cant be stopped By machines and guns Its the rythm of our lives The next generation keeps the spirit going strong And the struggle will survive Lets start again Pay our debts to all the leaders Our heroes paved the way They gave their lives To build a future for our nation And we know we're gonna get there someday We cant be stopped By machines and guns Its the rythm of our lives The next generation keeps the spirit going strong And the struggle will survive
