I think the song is trying to make God relatable. When religion puts God out of reach, too perfect, too inaccessable, only the Pope can connect. God WAS one of us. That is the point of the incarnation. God got born. Born poor. Soiled his diaper, was an awkward teen, all of it. God knows our condition because he lived it. I think when the chorus says "yeah, yeah God is good" it's being sarcastic. The writer expects a backlash from the people who want to make Jesus a frozen statue again rather than a guy with halitosis in the morning.
