Basket Case Lyrics - Mouse & The Mask - Danger Doom

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 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 mine's 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 loading 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 some 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 thumb hole 

Cell twelve drum roll, ode to a gum sole 

AOG 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 

Uh, nothing further 

Mentok commands you to proceed 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
