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