Toh Kay (Streetlight Manifesto) posts “The Hands That Thieve” lyrics

Streetlight Manifesto frontman Toh Kay has posted what appear to be lyrics to the title track of the band’s upcoming album “The Hands That Thieve.”

It’s not 100% clear if the lyrics (tweeted separately) are all from the same song, but they seem to fit together well enough. Take a look and decide for yourself.

“They shouted “Court should be adjourned, because the jury are fools!

And the judge can’t decipher his left from his right or his right from his wrong

So we will bite the hands that thieve, we will not turn the other cheek. This is no threat, it is a promise we will keep

So what’s the point pretending when we’ve seen behind the curtain and there’s nothing much to see?”

The album is currently being held up due to ongoing conflicts with Victory Records, and no release date has been set. “The Hands That Thieve” will be the band’s fourth studio album, co-released on their label Pentimento Music Company.
