The end of Crypto

LyricsOriginal lyrics (R.E.M., 1987)
That's greatThat's great
It starts with a Morris wormIt starts with an earthquake
Zeus and Storm and "I love you"Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
Schneier, Bruce is not afraidLenny Bruce is not afraid
 
Break of a Clipper chipEye of a hurricane
Sasser, Blaster, MydoomListen to yourself churn
Gauss serves its own needsWorld serves its own needs
Botnets serve their own needsDummy serve your own needs
SMSZombie ZoneFeed it off an aux speak
Half a million Chinese phonesGrunt, no strength
Debian RNGThe ladder starts to clatter
Now we’ve got your secret keysWith the fear, fight, down height
Centrifuge in a FlameWire in a fire
Stuxnet, SkynetRepresenting seven games
Government for hireA government for hire
and a malware siteand 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 hurryLeft of west and coming in a hurry
with the Nimba breathing down your neckwith the Furies breathing down your neck
Antivirus softwareTeam by team reporters
baffled, trumped, nothing stoppedbaffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that, attacking. Fine then!Look at that low playing. Fine then!
Buffer overflowUh oh, overflow
cross site scripting, common primespopulation, common food, but
It’ll do, save yourself, serve yourselfit'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
Gauss serves its own needsWorld serves its own needs
Listen to your bits leakListen to your heart bleed
Dummy with the SlammerDummy with the rapture
and the Hammer and the Zeus, looseand the revered and the right, right
Conficker, reinstallYou vitriolic, patriotic
Hack attack, service packSlam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psychedFeeling pretty psyched
 
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fineAnd I feel fine
 
Eurocrypt and AsiacryptSix o'clock, TV hour
Indocrypt and LatincryptDon't get caught in foreign towers
Crypto, Crappycrypt, CT-RSASlash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
TCC, PKC, S&P, FSELocking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting
CHES, CCS, Triple-DES, AESEvery motive escalate, automotive incinerate
MD4, MD5, MD6, MDnLight a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
RSA, DSA, DLP, ECCWatch your heel crush, crushed, uh oh
SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, SHAmirThis means no fear, cavalier, renegade, steer clear
SSH, PKI, X.509A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutionsOffer me solutions
offer me alternativesoffer me alternatives
and I declineand I decline
 
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the net as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fineAnd I feel fine
 
LinkedIn password leakThe other night I dreamt of knives
Has Sony yet been hacked this week?Continental drift divide
RockYou, Yahoo, tooMountains sit in a line
Blizzard runs DiabloLeonard Bernstein
Kindle nooked, 1984yankedLeonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs

CIA, NSA, MI6, FBI, BSI, CCRYou symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right
 
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt'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 itIt's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fineAnd I feel fine
 
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of Crypto as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know itIt's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fineAnd I feel fine
