Guilty By Association - H2O

Six years ago, a very hot summer night, avenue A with friends hanging tight

No future, no goals, and no destiny

Hanging on the corner for the world to see

Some friends drunk, some friends high

Laughing talking shit as the people walked by The air was tense and muggy as fuck

Lower east side, running amuck

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 madball

People got their ass kicked, people got hurt

But I was accepted for all it was worth

Bad repuations are hard to live down

I’m not guilty for who I hang around

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

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
