Guilty By Association

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 f**k Lower east side running a muck Guilty by a*sociation, judged by who I know Can't keep all my friends out of trouble When they got no place to go Guilty by a*sociation, 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 f**king summer Hanging out with mad ball People got their a*s 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 a*sociation, judged by who I know Can't keep all my friends out of trouble When they got no place to go Guilty by a*sociation, 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 a*sociation Guilty by a*sociation, judged by who I know Can't keep all my friends out of trouble When they got no place to go Guilty by a*sociation, 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 a*sociation
