Betray Lyrics
Maybe it was no one's fault
I know it wasn't mine
But now that you've moved along
I guess I'm next in line
I thought we had the same ideas
But you, you proved me wrong
I've been played the fool before
But never for quite so long
Betray
So what now? Do we shake hands,
And go on our seperate ways?
Or do I open my mind
And bump you into the haze?
No, I'll see you tomorrow
Same channel, same time, same place
I'm not going anywhere
'Cause I quit your fucking race
Betray
Goddammit, we were supposed to stay young
And now it's over, it's finished, it's done
Normal expectations, they were on the run
But now it's over, it's finished, it's done
I know it wasn't mine
But now that you've moved along
I guess I'm next in line
I thought we had the same ideas
But you, you proved me wrong
I've been played the fool before
But never for quite so long
And go on our seperate ways?
Or do I open my mind
And bump you into the haze?
No, I'll see you tomorrow
Same channel, same time, same place
I'm not going anywhere
'Cause I quit your fucking race
And now it's over, it's finished, it's done
Normal expectations, they were on the run
But now it's over, it's finished, it's done

It's about his friends who were changing and who suddenly had different priorities and ethics form him, including the other members of Minor Threat. At one of their last shows, he sang the entire song directly at Jeff Nelson.
What he's saying is "Tray!", because two syllabols simply didn't work for the chorus.
My initial guess is that it's about a relationship, simply because it sounds so good after a breakup.
yes, shadow..., go on. What song did he sing to JN?
This one.
Awesome song. It sounds like a lost friendship and something bad happened due to a change in beliefs
plosion. He's actually saying B'Tray crashing syllables together but intended betray
He can't possibly say betray in the chorus. I KNOW it says so, and that the song's called so, but still. I'll slow it down in my computer some day and listen, but I'm positive that he just grunts or something.
