Guilty By Association Songtext
von H2O

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 outta trouble when they got no place to go
Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outta trouble when they got no place to go


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 outta trouble when they got no place to go
Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outta trouble when they got no place to go

Sometimes I felt like an outcast tryin to talk my friends outta 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
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 outta trouble when they got no place to go
Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outta 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!
