[Verse 1] That library you installed last Tuesday night Has fingerprints from Beijing to Frankfurt's lights Check the vendor's passport, where do they call home Parent company shadows lurk beneath the chrome Acquisition vultures circle overhead One buyout and your stack could wind up dead [Chorus] Every package tells a tale of origin and trust Vendor domicile, jurisdiction's thrust Bus factor one means trouble's brewing fast Check the maintainer count or you won't last Registry's kingdom, governance throne Every package has a story of its own [Verse 2] Foundation-led or corporate puppet strings Community voice or boardroom whisperings That registry server sitting overseas Subject to laws that bring you to your knees Single service chokepoint, bottleneck supreme One jurisdiction kills your perfect scheme [Chorus] Every package tells a tale of origin and trust Vendor domicile, jurisdiction's thrust Bus factor one means trouble's brewing fast Check the maintainer count or you won't last Registry's kingdom, governance throne Every package has a story of its own [Bridge] Release cadence tells you if they're breathing Security response time shows their feeding Health metrics whisper what you need to know Centralization's where the dangers grow Hosting jurisdiction writes the final rules Don't become geopolitical fools [Verse 3] That critical dependency with one lone coder Bus factor zero when they switch to yoga Check the governance model, who holds the keys Vendor-captured foundations aren't what they seem Map your supply chain back to mother earth Know the story before you test its worth [Chorus] Every package tells a tale of origin and trust Vendor domicile, jurisdiction's thrust Bus factor one means trouble's brewing fast Check the maintainer count or you won't last Registry's kingdom, governance throne Every package has a story of its own [Outro] Before you npm install or pip download Ask whose flag flies above that package cloud Every dependency's a geopolitical bet Know the story before you're in debt
