Lyrics | Original lyrics (R.E.M., 1987) |
That's great | That's great |
It starts with a Morris worm | It starts with an earthquake |
Zeus and Storm and "I love you" | Birds and snakes, an aeroplane |
Schneier, Bruce is not afraid | Lenny Bruce is not afraid |
| |
Break of a Clipper chip | Eye of a hurricane |
Sasser, Blaster, Mydoom | Listen to yourself churn |
Gauss serves its own needs | World serves its own needs |
Botnets serve their own needs | Dummy serve your own needs |
SMSZombie Zone | Feed it off an aux speak |
Half a million Chinese phones | Grunt, no strength |
Debian RNG | The ladder starts to clatter |
Now we’ve got your secret keys | With the fear, fight, down height |
Centrifuge in a Flame | Wire in a fire |
Stuxnet, Skynet | Representing seven games |
Government for hire | A government for hire |
and a malware site | and a combat site |
| |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | |
And I feel fine | |
| |
Dancing hamsters coming in a hurry | Left of west and coming in a hurry |
with the Nimba breathing down your neck | with the Furies breathing down your neck |
Antivirus software | Team by team reporters |
baffled, trumped, nothing stopped | baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped |
Look at that, attacking. Fine then! | Look at that low playing. Fine then! |
Buffer overflow | Uh oh, overflow |
cross site scripting, common primes | population, common food, but |
It’ll do, save yourself, serve yourself | it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself |
Gauss serves its own needs | World serves its own needs |
Listen to your bits leak | Listen to your heart bleed |
Dummy with the Slammer | Dummy with the rapture |
and the Hammer and the Zeus, loose | and the revered and the right, right |
Conficker, reinstall | You vitriolic, patriotic |
Hack attack, service pack | Slam, fight, bright light |
Feeling pretty psyched | Feeling pretty psyched |
| |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
And I feel fine | And I feel fine |
| |
Eurocrypt and Asiacrypt | Six o'clock, TV hour |
Indocrypt and Latincrypt | Don't get caught in foreign towers |
Crypto, Crappycrypt, CT-RSA | Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn |
TCC, PKC, S&P, FSE | Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting |
CHES, CCS, Triple-DES, AES | Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate |
MD4, MD5, MD6, MDn | Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down |
RSA, DSA, DLP, ECC | Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh oh |
SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, SHAmir | This means no fear, cavalier, renegade, steer clear |
SSH, PKI, X.509 | A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies |
Offer me solutions | Offer me solutions |
offer me alternatives | offer me alternatives |
and I decline | and I decline |
| |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of the net as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
And I feel fine | And I feel fine |
| |
LinkedIn password leak | The other night I dreamt of knives |
Has Sony yet been hacked this week? | Continental drift divide |
RockYou, Yahoo, too | Mountains sit in a line |
Blizzard runs Diablo | Leonard Bernstein |
Kindle nooked, 1984—yanked | Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs |
TCP, PGP, Darpanet, Internet | Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! |
CIA, NSA, MI6, FBI, BSI, CCR | You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right |
| |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of certificates as we know them | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of the end-to-end as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
And I feel fine | And I feel fine |
| |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of Crypto as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the end of the world as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know
it |
And I feel fine | And I feel fine |
| |
It’s the IACR as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the IACR as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the IACR as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
And I feel fine | And I feel fine |
| |
It’s the IACR as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the IACR as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
It’s the IACR as we know it | It's the end of the world as we know it |
And I feel fine | And I feel fine |
