Cruelty can be described as indifference to suffering, and even positive pleasure in inflicting it. If this habit is supported by a legal or social framework, then it receives the name of perversion.[citation needed]Sadism can also be related to this form of action or concept.
Cruel ways of inflicting suffering may involve violence, but affirmative violence is not necessary for an act to be cruel. For example, if a person is drowning and begging for help, and another person is able to help, but merely watches with disinterest or perhaps mischievous amusement, that person is being cruel — rather than violent.
The term cruelty is often used in law and criminology with regard to the treatment of animals, children, spouses, and prisoners. When cruelty to animals is discussed, it often refers to unnecessary suffering. In criminal law, it refers to punishment, torture, victimization, draconian measures, and cruel and unusual punishment. In divorce cases, many jurisdictions permit a cause of action for cruel and inhumane treatment.
The Veronicas are a rock band from Brisbane, Australia, formed in 1999 by twin sisters, Jessica and Lisa Origliasso. In addition to music, the sisters market their own line of clothing which debuted in 2007.
In 2005, The Veronicas released their first studio album entitled The Secret Life of... which peaked at #2 on the Australian charts and gained an Australian ARIA certification of 4x platinum for 280,000+ sales. In total, the album spawned five singles, three of which were top ten singles in Australia.
In 2007, the duo released their second studio album, Hook Me Up, which also peaked at #2 on the Australian charts and earned an Australian ARIA certification of 2x platinum for 140,000+ sales. To date, the album has garnered four Australian top ten singles. The album's title track, "Hook Me Up", was The Veronicas' first #1 single in Australia.
In 2004, Lisa Origliasso and Jessica Origliasso were introduced to the Music Director of The Bell Hughes Music Group (BHMG), Hayden Bell. After producing some demo recordings with the twins, Bell invited them to sign a publishing agreement with Excalibur Productions (a subsidiary of BHMG). In the process, Bell helped facilitate their progression in musical style from acoustic pop to the more rhythmic rock pop approach that is now their trademark. On the strength of these demos, Bell took them to meet the executives at Engine Room (a subsidiary of PBL (Packer) Group) and they were immediately signed to a production deal. To further develop their song writing skills, Bell connected them with several internationally acclaimed songwriters and producers including Clif Magness (who has written with Avril Lavigne), Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Cyndi Lauper), Max Martin (Britney Spears, Katy Perry, P!nk), Eric Nova, Dead Mono and Vince DeGiorgio, where they created a catalogue of over 50 songs.

Cruel lyrics
Baby
This is really goodbye
The curtains bout to fall
And I'm about to walk out your life
Hate me
If you like
Girl I'm tired of being burned
Sorry ain't gonna cut it this time
And did you wanna stay there
You can lead your heart astray
And then close both eyes
And I'll go away.
But I can tell you right now since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away.
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it.
Don't wanna hear another word about it
'Bout it, yeah
Baby
This is really goodbye
Well excuse me if I'm mad
You really hung me out to dry
And did you wanna stay there
You can lead your heart astray
And then close both eyes
And I'll go away.
But I can tell you right now since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away.
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it.
Don't wanna hear another word about it
'Bout it, yeah
(RAP)
This is more than just a break up song
Plans for life have to break the fall
Slap in the face kinda wakeup call
Well too bad a rich man to wake up for
We used to be tight
Right as the rain
Since that night no other night be the same
It's fair to say she ain't right in the brain
She like poison put right to the vein
Was it all my fault
Tell me did I push you away?
Was it my absence led to the damage that eventually led you astray?
Where did we go wrong, wait a minute what am I tryna say?
You messed up
It's on you
(Turn around and)
Please walk away
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it
Don't wanna hear another word about it
(Guess the rest is history)
'Bout it, yeah
