Guilty By Association

H2O - Guilty By Association

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

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!!

As I look back now on that summer vacation

I realize - I'll always be GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!!
