OK, first of all, I have to say that whoever this keith guy is obviously has no taste for artful expression. Miss Machine is the best thing to come out of New Jersey's collective sphincter. Period.
Anyway, onto the meaning: anyone ever seen Wonder Showzen season one on MTV2? Episode 2 has a scene where Chauncey plays Paper-Rock-Scissors against God for the fate of the earth. That makes me think this song is about religion and the uselessness of prayer. God is the "lucky penny," "lion tamer," and "4-leaf contraceptive." Prayer is basically based on a fifty-fifty system of luck. No matter what superstition you choose, your prayers are going to be "answered" at about the same rate. Plus, prayer completely defies the so-called "divine plan." So really, prayer is "going nowhere."
If you want more information on this stuff, listen to "You Are All Diseased" by George Carlin. Funny guy.
