Streetlight Manifesto is a third wave ska punk band from New Brunswick, New Jersey, under the creative leadership of singer/guitarist Tomas Kalnoky. Since forming in 2002, the band has released four full-length albums.
Several of Streetlight's members were already well known among the New Jersey ska community for their roles in past ska bands from that area, most notably Catch 22's Tomas Kalnoky, James Egan, Mike Soprano, and Josh Ansley, as well as One Cool Guy's Stuart Karmatz, Pete Sibilia, Dan Ross, and Chris Paszik.

C#mG# First time that they came for me C#mG# I was a young boy and little did I not believe C#m I had a hole in my heart G#C#mG# And I was looking for a piece that fit
C#mG# The next time I was privy to C#mG# Their dirty secrets of their little hidden clues C#mG# And when I added it up, I had a little, but a little won't do
F#mG# Can anybody out there tell me something true
C#mF#mG#C#mF#mG#
F#mG# Preferably something that no one can dispute
C#mF#mG#C#mF#mG#
F#mG# When everybody's spilling lifelong secrets BG# I'm betting safely on the man it will demiss G# Despite his weakness G# He'll take his secrets to the grave.

C#mG# Though no one thought it would ever come to this C#m I have a secret G#C#mG#C#m And that secret is there was a lie I told myself until it became the truth
C#mG#C#m Rest assured I have a plan B on my mind G#C#m If all the webs I weaved would ever come and unwind G#C#m But I got plenty of time
F#mG# Can anybody out there tell me something true
C#mF#mG#C#mF#mG#
F#mG# Before I believe something that no one can dispute
C#mF#mG#C#mF#mG#
