This song plays on a computer programmer's mantra, "garbage in, garbage out." If you write sloppy programming code, it won't come out right. The song compares the human mind to a computer. If you "program" your brain with anger, self-pity, and bitterness, only unhappiness can result. However, Philippians 4:8 reminds us "whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."
