Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed) Lyrics

Boys who (boys who)
Rape should (rape should)
All be (all be)
Destroyed (x2)

Three to one, girl
How can you win?
One horrid night
You hope it is a dream
They rip you to shreds
Make you feel useless
You'll never forget
Those fuckers stay in your head

Boys who (boys who)
Rape should (rape should)
All be (all be)
Destroyed (x2)

They rip you to shreds
Make you feel useless
You'll never forget
Those fuckers stay in your head

Boys who (boys who)
Rape should (rape should)
All be (all be)
Destroyed (x6)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed) lyrics by Raveonettes, The

Well, I think it's obviously about rape - how a girl feels when being raped and how one can never forget what happened.. But yeah, I think one pretty much gets the meaning reading the lyrics.. So "Boys who rape should all be destroyed" just mean what is says... Rape is wrong, because of the act itself and how it makes the girl feel, therefore boys who rape should be destroyed. And just another thing, I really love the contrast in this song: it sounds so happy and light, but the lyrics are so dark.

the lyric 'one horrid night' aside this song could easily/relevantly apply to sex trafficking where this situation happens more(?)
