[Verse 1]
Headlines flood like waterfalls cascading
Screaming urgent, demanding your attention
But Nassim taught us wisdom worth remembering
Most information drowns the real intention
The trader scrolls through market desperation
While fundamentals whisper soft and true
Five percent matters, ninety-five's distraction
The loudest voices rarely have a clue
[Chorus]
Signal cuts through static like a blade
Noise just amplifies and fades away
When the coverage burns with rage and heat
That's your cue the truth is incomplete
Signal sharp and clean
Noise obscures the scene
Learn to hear between the screaming lines
[Verse 2]
Political theater floods the evening broadcast
Emotional intensity turned up to ten
But information value moves inversely
The hottest takes reveal the least again
Breaking news alerts ping every second
Yet markets barely register the shift
That corporate earnings miss by half a penny
Moves more money than the Twitter drift
[Chorus]
Signal cuts through static like a blade
Noise just amplifies and fades away
When the coverage burns with rage and heat
That's your cue the truth is incomplete
Signal sharp and clean
Noise obscures the scene
Learn to hear between the screaming lines
[Bridge]
Ratio deteriorates with consumption
More you read, less signal you receive
Filter fiercely, guard your mental bandwidth
Question what demands you must believe
[Chorus]
Signal cuts through static like a blade
Noise just amplifies and fades away
When the coverage burns with rage and heat
That's your cue the truth is incomplete
Signal sharp and clean
Noise obscures the scene
Learn to hear between the screaming lines
[Outro]
Five percent signal
Ninety-five percent noise
Choose your inputs
Make the wiser choice
