Trauma Cat - It Was Me Lyrics

I dropped the H-bomb
Took all those people by surprise
Suddenly and without warning, vanquished all their lives
Well, I clear-cut the Amazon
Pushed all those tribal peoples out
Replaced all that ancient vegetation
With soya beans and cows
It was me
You should be angry at
It was me
This whole time
I fueled the slave trade
I need more tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold
How else would these cell phones and TVs be made and sold
I dumped the plastic in the sea
Eight million tons or so per year
Where else was that shit supposed to go
Certainly not here
It was me
You should be angry at
It was me
This whole time
(Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this information and for holding this space today
I am going to unequivocally accept everything you've just told me as fact
Proof and explanations are not necessary when sharing your trauma
It must have been exhausting putting in all of this emotional labor
Because of that, I consider my listening to you an emotional tax
That I will pay willfully and with glee
So, take all the time you need. I see you. I hear you. And you are valid)
I shit the bed, Mom
Would you kindly clean this mess up, please
Sorry for the note, I had somewhere to be
But it was me
Me, me, me

I dropped the H-bomb
Took all those people by surprise
Suddenly and without warning, vanquished all their lives
Well, I clear-cut the Amazon
Pushed all those tribal peoples out
Replaced all that ancient vegetation
With soya beans and cows
It was me
You should be angry at
It was me
This whole time
I fueled the slave trade
I need more tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold
How else would these cell phones and TVs be made and sold
I dumped the plastic in the sea
Eight million tons or so per year
Where else was that shit supposed to go
Certainly not here
It was me
You should be angry at
It was me
This whole time
