Danger Doom - Basket Case lyrics

rate me

[Harvey Birdman]

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!"

[MF Doom]

For being a drunken lush, and bad as hell

Read the charge and thunk, sunk in in a plush padded cell

Temperpedic Craftmatic adjustable

Go on try to stare at it, it's not that combustible

I accidentally split 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 loading dose

He claimed he couldn't take the racket

Faked his own escape in a eightball straight jacket

[Myron Reducto]

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!

[unknown quote]

And it isn't true that at these times

he often descends into a delusional state

Sometimes actually adopting another person's persona?

[MF Doom]

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 O.G. 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

[Myron Reducto]

The defendant's confession!

[Harvey Birdman]

Uhh, nothing further

[Mentok the Mindtaker]

Mentok commands you to procede, with your case!

[MF Doom]

Just since some people, wear a mask

Don't mean.. they.. did nothing automatically

[Harvey Birdman]

Now wait a second!

Your Honor I'd respectfully like to have a word with you in chambers

[MF Doom]

I request an immediate dismissal, on the grounds...

On grounds that...

[Harvey Birdman]

Your honor I...

[MF Doom]

Just as the mask, some people wear a mask

Don't mean that they did something
