Guilty By Association by H2O Lyrics

Six years ago, a very hot summer night
Avenue A with my friends hangin tight
No future, no goals, and no destiny
Hangin on the corner for the world to see
Some friends drunk and some friends high
Laughing, talkin shit as the people walked by
Air was dense, muggy as fuck
Lower east side runnin amuck

Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go
(2x)

Me drug-free in the midst of it all
Crazy fuckin summer hangin out with Madball
People got their ass kicked, people got hurt
But I was accepted for all it was worth
Bad reputations are hard to live down
I'm not guilty for who I hang around
Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go
(2x)

Sometimes I felt like an outcast, tryin to talk my friends outa trouble
Tried to be a positive role model, but I got caught up in the rumble
We had ideas scribbled on walls
Six years later our destiny calls
Living our lives, some of us in bands
Touring the world, but we know where we stand
We play shows together or just hanging out, talkin 'bout the good times
How we got out

We're still the same fellas, still all tight
Young till we die and ready to fight for what's right
As I look back now on that summer vacation
I realize, I'll always be guilty by association!!

Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go
(2x)

As I look back now on that summer vacation
I realize - I'll always be GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!!!
