I think it's about a hypothetical apocalypse from the perspective of someone who lived through it. First, there is a nuclear war (should i live so long to see 'em dropping bombs) which destroys society. Some people survive (generation turned a chemical tribe) and the narrator comments on the bad luck of the survivors (let the black odds roll) and the conditions of the post apocalyptic world (roll me over, is this hell?). The quote "leaning more towards cain than abel" is about how people will do evil things in order to survive in the post apocalyptic world, and the quote "born in ending times" is another quote showing that the song takes place in/after the apocalypse.

@el10140357 the "chemical tribe" is also a reference to radiation/pollution and it's effects on the body
