To me, I think that this song is just really great. The beginning is so interesting, it really brings the listener in immediately, you know? Then he just goes off on another completely different way- It's gets slower and then suddenly he talks about people fucking and such, which takes this suddenly in the comic direction.
But at the same time, it shows that he doesn't want to live in "Normal", does he? In fact "Normal" is what takes all of the inspiration from "Effington". So along with his joking persona, he is being completely serious when he says that he wants to die in Effington and live there, etc.
The part about God laughing, well it works well with what Ben sees the world as. It's just silly. And these "Normal" people do such odd things that are considered to be normal.
He just wants out of Normal I believe and would rather live somewhere else.
