Guilty By Association
Lyrics
Joe Henry:
You've been sanctified
And I've been tried (I've been tried)
Guilty by association
You've been canonized
And I've been fried (I've been fried)
Guilty by association
Joe Henry & Madonna:
All the little loonies
With a salient obsession
Come out from the boonies
With their sharpies and their guns
And we're loaded with questions
Madonna:
Guilty by association
Guilty by association
Joe Henry
You've been idolized
And I've been tried (I've been tried)
Guilty by association
You've been terrorized
And I've been fried
Guilty by association
Joe Henry & Madonna:
All the little loonies
With a salient obsession
Come out from the boonies
With their sharpies and their guns
They're all loaded with questions
Loaded with questions
Loaded with questions (Loaded with questions)

Song
Madonna teamed up with brother-in-law Joe Henry for this contribution for the 1996 benefit album Sweet Relief II. The Sweet Relief Music Fund is a non-profit organisation which raises funds for musicians with medical and financial hardship.
According to a MTV interview, Joe Henry convinced Madonna to do this duet, after he had "lured her over with her sister's fantastic anchovy pasta".
