Streetlight Manifesto - The hands that thieve

I felt no ^Fguilt till I was ^Fcaught And I was ^Dmtold that I was guilty, And ^Feven then I wasn't really ^Fsure, yeah ^Fyeah. The ^Fthing I felt was ^Fguilt itself Or ^Fmaybe it was something ^Dmelse, Fru^Fstration at the fact that I was ^Fever caught at all. I told a ^Flie, I multi^Fplied it By the ^Dmtime I realized it I'd ^Fgiven up everything I ever ^Floved, yeah ^Fyeah. Cause the ^Fthing you left When you're ^Flooking back, Is the ^Fpressure the feel that you ^Dmhave to act Yeah ^Feverything is clearer when You're ^Flooking at the past, oh no.

^FAnd I don't care if I ^Flose because my heroes did ^Ftoo, They shouted, "Court should ^Dmbe adjourned!" Because the^F jury are fools. And the judge can't de^Fcipher his left from his ^Fright Or his right from his wrong. ^FAnd we will bite the hand that ^Fthieves, We will not turn the other ^Fcheek, this is no threat It is a ^Dmpromise we will ^Fkeep. So what's the point pre^Ftending when we've seen behind the ^Fcurtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

I felt no ^Fpain till I was ^Fdown, And I was ^Dmtold that I was bleeding. And ^Feven then I knew I wasn't ^Fdone, yeah ^Fyeah. 'Cause the ^Fwounds I get They will ^Fjust collect, In^Fsuring that I ^Dmwon't forget. Re^Fminders of the battles That I've ^Flost and that I've won And I will ^Ffight 'til I have ^Fdied Or all my enemies are ^Dmallies And ^Feven then I will sleep with an open ^Feye, yeah ^Fyeah. 'Cause the ^Fnight is long and our ^Ffoes are strong But I ^Fknow the road we ^Dmtravel on It ^Fonly seems so dark Because we've ^Falmost reached the dawn, oh no.

^FAnd I don't care if I ^Flose because my heroes did ^Ftoo, They shouted, "Court should ^Dmbe adjourned!" Because the^F jury are fools. And the judge can't de^Fcipher his left from his ^Fright or his right from his wrong. ^FAnd we will bite the hand that ^Fthieves, We will not turn the other ^Fcheek, this is no threat It is a ^Dmpromise we will ^Fkeep. So what's the point pre^Ftending when we've seen behind the ^Fcurtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

^DmAnd everyone will ^Fclaim That they ^Fknew from the be^Fginning. ^DmThat what they did was ^Fwrong, They ^Fstill just went on ^Fsinning. ^DmThe sudden rush you feel When ^Frealizing everything you ^Fknow Will fade away, it haunts you ^Fdeep, But you won't want to let it ^Dmgo. Someday we'll lose the ^Fwar, But 'til ^Fthen we will dream of ^Fwinning.

^FI won't for^Fget, The things you ^Fsaid, When I was ^Dmdown and I was tired of ^Fit. The words you ^Fspoke, F* They brought me home. ^FWhen it was time to ^Ffight, We chose a ^Fside, But everyone ^Dmknew that something didn't feel ^Fright. So we stood our ^Fground, F* And waited for a sign.

^FWhen it was time to ^Ffight, We chose a ^Fside, But everyone ^Dmknew that something didn't feel ^Fright. So we stood our ^Fground, And waited for a ^Fsign.

^FYou said don't look ^Fba^Faa^Faa^Dmaaack! Don't look ^Fba^Faa^Faa^Dmaack!

(We ^Fwon't look ^Fback, We won't look ^Fdown, We've come too ^Dmfar, We're too high off the ^Fground. The wheels have ^Fturned, The lessons ^Flearned.)
