I Wanna Be Cruel Lyrics - Singles - Matt Jaffe & The Distractions

I know so many versions of myself 

I disown them all 

I know so many versions of myself 

The latest one's installed 

The latest one don't care what came before 

It just wants to be cruel 

The latest one knows that its gonna ignore 

Its reputation and its rules 

I wanna be cruel 

I want to needle the night 

I wanna be cruel 

Before I get too polite 

I want to patent all of my limbs 

So they don't betray 

Me in the premier wax museums 

Where they'd not see day 

The day always puts on a loving smile 

The night just wants to be cruel 

The day runs the courts and judges the trials 

The night don't care for the rules 

I wanna be cruel 

I want to needle the night 

I wanna be cruel 

Before I get too polite 

I wanna be the villain 

'cause I have not yet tried 

But that don't mean that I'll be killin' 

My better-natured side 

I wanna be cruel 

I want to needle the night 

I wanna be cruel 

Before I get too polite
