-God I am so tired
Expressing deep tiredness and weariness.
So tired of being weak
Feeling worn out physically and emotionally.
I have neither strength to stand nor discipline to sleep
Expressing physical and mental fatigue, struggling to stand or sleep.
I question my labor when I strain my back in vain
Questioning the worth of labor if it leads to fruitless efforts.
And I realize that the future and what I think just ain't the same
Realization that one's expectations about the future don't align with reality.
Ah ah ah
Repetition of sighs, maintaining a sense of exhaustion.
Ah ah ah ah

-Lord who would really blame me if I smoke my life away
Questioning who would blame the speaker for using substances to cope with life.
I handle monotony by lengthening my days
Managing monotony by extending the length of days, possibly through substance use.
Ah ah ah
Repetition of sighs, maintaining a tone of weariness.

-A skeptic of intention
Being skeptical about others' intentions and the lack of trust.
For who is there to trust
Expressing a general lack of trust, including in nature's inevitability.
Even nature soon would carry all of us back to the dust
Reflecting on the transient nature of life and mortality.
Sure I know my neighbor
Knowing the neighbor but questioning the depth of that knowledge.
Man at least I know his name
Knowing the neighbor's name but acknowledging the superficiality of relationships.
And with all these busy schedules being a friend just ain't the same
Busy schedules making genuine friendship challenging.
Ah ah ah
Repetition of sighs, continuing the theme of weariness.
Ah ah ah ah
-Ah ah ah
-Ah ah ah
-Lord who would really blame me if I smoke my life away
Reiterating the question of blame for using substances to cope.
I handle monotony by lengthening my days
Coping with monotony by prolonging days, possibly through substance use.

-Well they tell me if work gets slow I'll be the first to go
Fear of job insecurity and potential unemployment.
Some days I get worried man
Worrying about job stability and uncertain future.
Some days I hope so
Ironically hoping for relief from the stress of work through unemployment.
Ah ah ah
Repetition of sighs, maintaining a sense of exhaustion.
Ah ah ah ah
-Ah ah ah
-Ah ah ah
