[Verse 1]
Silicon streams cross borders unseen
But governments draw invisible walls
Between services, software, and technical assistance
Three categories that determine who falls
Under export control's watchful gaze
While cloud providers cut connections in days
[Chorus]
Digital borders slice through the net
Screen and restrict, contractual threat
Dual-use dancing on razor's edge
Crypto and compute, networking pledge
Check your lists, know who you serve
When restrictions shift and compliance curves
[Verse 2]
Cryptographic keys unlock more than doors
Advanced AI chips think beyond games
Networking gear routes sensitive data flows
Three technologies that governments claim
Need careful watching, dual-use debate
Commercial tools that militaries take
[Chorus]
Digital borders slice through the net
Screen and restrict, contractual threat
Dual-use dancing on razor's edge
Crypto and compute, networking pledge
Check your lists, know who you serve
When restrictions shift and compliance curves
[Bridge]
App stores vanish from certain regions
Payment rails suddenly disconnect
Screening customers becomes religion
Contractual reps demand respect
Do not serve lists grow longer each quarter
Change management crosses every border
[Verse 3]
Yesterday's partner, today's blocked entity
Sanctions evolve while systems must adapt
Legal teams scramble through complexity
While engineers find their access trapped
Between compliance and innovation's call
Digital walls divide us all
[Chorus]
Digital borders slice through the net
Screen and restrict, contractual threat
Dual-use dancing on razor's edge
Crypto and compute, networking pledge
Check your lists, know who you serve
When restrictions shift and compliance curves
[Outro]
In this fractured digital space
Where geopolitics sets the pace
Your tech stack needs resilient design
To navigate each shifting line
