[Verse 1] You say, “You’re my brother” like that should make it right But now they want a trade and I don’t see the price I thought the tyrant wanted both of us in chains Now he changed his hunger and it’s spitting out my name Zabulon, what you doing? Why you looking past my face? You keep my brother in your hand and hand me to the snake [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what this means Say it plain to me Why’d the deal get bent when it used to be both of we? I’m not slow I see your move You made a promise then you changed the rules [Chorus] You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? He wanted both of us now he wants me gone Zabulon, look at me tell me what went wrong (what went wrong) You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? [Verse 2] I turn my stare on Zabulon make it burn through skin If you want my brother why you offering me to him? He said one thing, then another like the truth was loose But my brother’s still my blood and I don’t love your use He can keep his golden promises keep his crooked grin If he thinks I won’t remember every cut, every sin [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what this means Say it plain to me Why’d the deal get bent when it used to be both of we? I’m not slow I see your move You made a promise then you changed the rules [Chorus] You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? He wanted both of us now he wants me gone Zabulon, look at me tell me what went wrong (what went wrong) You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? [Bridge] I won’t bow my head I won’t play your game If I’m meant to break I’ll break with my name I’m looking right at you let the silence sting You can count your favors I can count everything [Final Chorus] You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? He wanted both of us now he wants me gone Zabulon, look at me tell me what went wrong (what went wrong) You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade? You’re my brother, so why this trade? Why this trade?
