The song’s pleading for people to stop everything that’s bad in the eyes of God, and to embrace Jesus/God - they’ll set you free.
When I listen to it, I translate it in my head to - bad = shallow, and God = truth / meaning.
If I do this, then I can really appreciate and get behind the sentiment / emotion of the song.

What’s interesting is the lines like the following:
“And for a small donation she could have the Lord Almighty”
“Visa or Mastercard, our operators are waiting”
“Now a word from our sponsor then another troubled teen”
Which hints at an underlying dissatisfaction with preachers using God for profit.
