The more i listen to this song the more i think it could be a reference to John Steinbecks 'East of Eden'. "Generation turned to chemical tribe", every persons genetics supposedly traces back to Cain becuase he populated the earth, so chemically were all siblings and we're naturally eveil. (in theory).
"No last supper right
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Leaning more toward Cain than Abel" 1st of all whoever transcribed these lyrics misspelled the word "right", but i digress. This quote may be a parallel the story of Cain and Abel, and is aimed at the Cains of the world whose sacrifices are not accepted and are chosen second to Cain. I suppose none of this could have been Jerry Cantrell's intention, but i think 'East of Eden' applies to the song fatastically. In any case i like the song a lot and as well as most songs, "chemical tribe" probably varies interpretively.
