[Verse 1] Sarah walks into my office, confidence ablaze Says she'll triple her portfolio in ninety days I see overconfidence written on her face While anchoring bias sets the meeting's pace She fixates on her winner from last year's spree Can't see the forest for that single tree [Chorus] Watch for the blindfolds on their minds Cognitive traps that twist and bind Emotional static drowning reason's voice Help them see beyond their narrow choice Spot the patterns, read between Biases hiding in the scene [Verse 2] Marcus only picks the stocks that make the news Availability heuristic gives him tunnel views Jennifer won't sell her father's failing shares Loss aversion keeps her trapped in old affairs Tom confirms his hunches, skips the warning signs Cherry-picking data, crossing dangerous lines [Chorus] Watch for the blindfolds on their minds Cognitive traps that twist and bind Emotional static drowning reason's voice Help them see beyond their narrow choice Spot the patterns, read between Biases hiding in the scene [Bridge] Mental accounting splits their money's flow Representativeness makes assumptions grow Regret haunts every trading choice they make Herding instinct follows crowd's mistake Frame the questions, shift their view Break the spell with something new [Verse 3] When you're crafting their investment policy statement Dig beneath each emotional displacement Ask them why they chose that allocation mix Challenge every shortcut, every mental fix Listen for the stories they tell themselves Check the facts upon their mental shelves [Chorus] Watch for the blindfolds on their minds Cognitive traps that twist and bind Emotional static drowning reason's voice Help them see beyond their narrow choice Spot the patterns, read between Biases hiding in the scene [Outro] Clear vision comes when biases fade Better choices, better plans are made
