Lyrics:
I’m biased because I knew it all along… hindsight bias… I knew it all along.
hindsight bias… I knew it all alongI’m biased because I putyou in a category which yo may or may not belong…
representativeness bias don’t stereotype this songI’m biased because of a small detail that throws off the big picture of the thing
Anchroing bias see the forest for the treesI’m biased toward the first example that comes to my mind
availability bias to the first thing that comes to mindOh oh bias don’t let bias into your mind
Bias don’t try this…
it’ll inlfuence you thinking
and memories, don’t mess with these
but you’re guilty of distorted thinkingCognitive bias
your mind becomes blinded
decisions and problems you’ve
been forced to solve them wronglyI’m biased because I’ll only listen to what I agree with
confirmation bias … your narrowminded if you are thisI’m biased because I take credit for success but no blame for failure
self-serving bias… my success and your failureI’m biased when I remember things they way I would’ve expected them to be
expectancy bias false memories are shaped by theseI’m biased becase I think my opinion now was my opinion then
self consistency bias but you felt different way back whenOh oh bias don’t let bias into your mind… Bias don’t try this, it’ll inlfuence you thinking and memories, don’t mess with these but you’re guilty of distorted thinking. Cognitive bias your mind becomes blinded; decisions and problems you’ve been forced to solve them wrongly!
