[Intro]
\n(Tales of heavy tails)
\nVolatility
\nIn predictability
\nInstability
\n(It never fails)
\nHeavy Tales<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHis bell curve has fallen flat
\nHard to tell where it’s at
\nWhat the hell… if the shoe fits
\nLogic’s ripped to bits<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\n(Tales of heavy tails)
\nVolatility
\nIn predictability
\nInstability
\n(It never fails)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHeavy Tales
\nInequality
\n(From see to whining see)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHis bell curve… hammered flat
\nEnamored no habitat
\nThe statistical nitwits
\nShred it all to bits<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\n(Tales of heavy tails)
\nVolatility
\nIn predictability
\nInstability
\n(It never fails)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHeavy Tales
\nInequality
\n(From see to whining see)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\n(Tales of heavy tails)

\nInstability
\n(It never fails)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nHeavy Tale
\n(Life set sail)<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE
\nWhen a bell curve flattens out<\/strong>, it means the data distribution is becoming less peaked and more spread out<\/strong>\u2014a phenomenon known in statistics as an increase in standard deviation<\/strong> or an increase in kurtosis (specifically platykurtic)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what it implies:<\/p>\n

Flatter Bell Curve (Higher Standard Deviation):<\/strong><\/p>\n
