Cruelty Abounds Lyrics

Does cruelty rule?
I do not know
But it sure gets around
It abounds, it abounds, it abounds, it abounds

Does the singer wanna wreck the song?
I do not know, but surely sometimes that's just how it sounds

I am drawn to
What can only be described as
More petty crimes
That's the direction I'm inclined

My aspirations are not too political
My aspirations are not overly political
My aspirations are not exclusively political

Does cruelty rule?
I do not know
But it sure gets around
It abounds it abounds it abounds it abounds

Does the singer wanna wreck the song?
I do not know, but surely sometimes that's just how it sounds

My aspirations are not too political
My aspirations are not overly political
My aspirations are not exclusively political

Does cruelty rule?
I do not know
But it sure gets around
It abounds it abounds it abounds it abounds

Does cruelty rule?
How could I know
But it sure gets around
It gets around, it gets around, it gets around, it gets around
It gets around
It abounds
It abounds

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.
