H2O - Guilty By Association Lyrics

Six years ago a very hot summer night
Avenue A with my friends hanging tight
No future, no goals and no destiny
Hanging on the corner for the world to see

Some friends drunk and some friends high
Laughing talking shit as the people walked by
The air was tense and muggy as fuck
Lower east side running a muck

Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
When they got no place to go

Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
When they got no place to go

Me drug free
In the midst of it all
Crazy fucking summer
Hanging out with mad ball

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 out of trouble
When they got no place to go

Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
When they got no place to go

Sometimes I felt like an outcast
Trying to talk my friends out of 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
Talking 'bout the good times
How we got out

Still the same fellas and we're 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 out of trouble
When they got no place to go

Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
When they got no place to go

As I look back now on that summer vacation
I realize I'll always be guilty by association
