Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you choose your vendors, look beyond the price
Check the company's home base, think about it twice
Beijing, Moscow, Tehran - where laws can change overnight
Your supply chain's only strong as your weakest geopolitical right

[Chorus]
D-O-M-I-C-I-L-E, where they call home matters today
P-A-R-E-N-T company, who owns who in the hierarchy
Acquisition risks can flip your stack overnight
Check your vendor's domicile before you sign that line

[Verse 2]
That Estonian startup with the perfect API
Just got bought by a Chinese firm with ties to the CCP
Your data flows were clean but now they cross new borders
Government access laws just changed your security orders

[Chorus]
D-O-M-I-C-I-L-E, where they call home matters today
P-A-R-E-N-T company, who owns who in the hierarchy
Acquisition risks can flip your stack overnight
Check your vendor's domicile before you sign that line

[Bridge]
Ultimate beneficial ownership, who's behind the shell
GDPR versus CCPA, regulatory hell
When sanctions hit tomorrow, will your services survive
Map your dependencies now to keep your stack alive

[Verse 3]
Three levels deep in subsidiaries, the paper trail runs cold
Swiss headquarters, Russian funding - the story's getting old
Your SaaS provider's stable till the headlines start to break
Due diligence on domicile prevents a big mistake

[Chorus]
D-O-M-I-C-I-L-E, where they call home matters today
P-A-R-E-N-T company, who owns who in the hierarchy
Acquisition risks can flip your stack overnight
Check your vendor's domicile before you sign that line

[Outro]
Corporate trees grow deep and wide
Know your vendors' geopolitical side
When the world shifts overnight
Your research keeps your data tight
