| 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 |
