DANGERDOOM - Basket Case lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
We all lived through the 70's
The clothes, the music, the heartwarming
But rarely amusing Ziggy cartoons
Now, later, who are we to look at these two
Fine young men and say
"You there! I sit in judgment of you!"

For being a drunken lush and bad as hell
Read the charge and thunk
Sunk in in a plush padded cell
Tempur-Pedic Craftmatic adjustable
Go on try to stare at it
It's not that combustible
I accidentally spilled some kerosene
And dozed off with the L lit
Doped up on thorazine
Matter of fact, make mines a double
Few could see the point like
A line through the Hubble
DOOM hit the eye in the sky with a pie


Shrink said he thinks he believe he could fly
Spread his wings and flap like a goose
He'll show you how to do it if
You help him get the straps loose
Diagnosed as shell shocked from totin' toast
And still could hear the bells rock Doc
Another Lodine dose
He claimed he couldn't take the racket
Faked his own escape in
A eightball straight jacket

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
This, animal
Here this ursine fellow UNCLEAN!
He rejected society and retreated
To a cave in the woods to
Plot his vile - NOD!
And it isn't true that at these times
He often descends into a delusional state
Sometimes actually adopting another
Person's persona?

I started punchin' once I saw son lungin'
He had me put on punishment
For eating the last Munchkin
So now they got me down here near the dungeon
Nurses all arguin' over who's
To do the spongin
He requested time off for bugged behavior
And rhymed off of thug beats
Bumped by a neighbor
Who spoke with his fist and kept
A mirror with a thumbhole
Cell twelve drumroll, ode to a gum sole
A OG like a captain that's retired
Rappers is space cadets yappin', be quiet
And that's an order
Ship your daughters to my quarters at once
And don't sip the tap water dunce
He is the super, a stranger who talks to you
Maybe even offer tech support
And walk you through
Villain, man in the mask, spit in the face
Show him where to go
Inside a hand basket case
The defendant's confession!
Uhh, nothing further
Mentok commands you to procede
With your case!
Just since some people, wear a mask
Don't mean, they did nothing automatically
(Now wait a second) your Honor
I'd respectfully like to have a
Word with you in chambers
I request an immediate dismissal
On the grounds
On grounds that (Your Honor, I)
Just as the mask, some people wear a mask
Don't mean that they did something
