This song is not about a girl or politics. It is about atheism, as it a good portion of their music. The first line, "That's alright because you wish you were dead." Alludes to the comments that religious people make about how much better it will be in the afterlife. "I'll take my chances with the unworthy," means that he is a skeptic about religion, leaning toward logic and reason as a way to view the world. "You know the quick path, the righteous the way back." Is saying that you claim to know that your religion is true. "So save a prayer for me. Don't waste a prayer on me." Means you can believe what you want to believe, but praying for me is a lost cause. I don't believe in your God, and I make my own decisions. Praying for me is a waste of time, pray for something worth while. Read closely and you will see that the rest of the song supports this central idea.
