Lyrics

[Verse 1]
NodeJS from Russian hands to Microsoft's embrace
Open source foundations shift beneath the corporate space
That library you trusted, now acquired overnight
Parent companies shuffle like chess pieces out of sight

[Chorus]
Follow the money trail, trace the ownership chain
Geography matters when supply lines feel the strain
Parent, subsidiary, acquisition game
Who owns who when sanctions start to rain
Location, location, domination
Map your stack's true nation

[Verse 2]
Estonian startup builds your auth, but venture capital flows
From Beijing boardrooms where geopolitical tension grows
GitHub repositories mirror to servers overseas
One executive order cuts your access at the knees

[Chorus]
Follow the money trail, trace the ownership chain
Geography matters when supply lines feel the strain
Parent, subsidiary, acquisition game
Who owns who when sanctions start to rain
Location, location, domination
Map your stack's true nation

[Bridge]
Headquarters lie, incorporation hides the truth
Development teams scattered across disputed proof
Delaware shell holds shares in Cayman Island trust
While actual servers sit where regulations rust

[Verse 3]
Database vendor sold to conglomerate last spring
Now your enterprise license hangs on diplomatic string
Source code contributors from seven different states
One trade war eruption seals your application's fate

[Chorus]
Follow the money trail, trace the ownership chain
Geography matters when supply lines feel the strain
Parent, subsidiary, acquisition game
Who owns who when sanctions start to rain
Location, location, domination
Map your stack's true nation

[Outro]
Due diligence demands you excavate each layer deep
Corporate structures hide what promises they'll keep
Resilience requires redundancy you control
Don't let foreign ownership compromise your soul
