Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When software leaves the factory floor
Components hide what came before
A recipe list, ingredients clear
SBOM maps what's really here
Dependencies stacked like Russian dolls
One breach cascades, the tower falls

[Chorus]
Generate early, store it safe
Validate sources, trust the trace
Ownership matters, exceptions too
Build time testimony telling truth
SBOM policy, carved in stone
Know your stack, make threats known

[Verse 2]
Continuous integration spins the wheel
Each commit must forge a seal
Artifact repositories hold the keys
Package manifests in hierarchies
Version pinning stops the drift
Vulnerability windows close swift

[Chorus]
Generate early, store it safe
Validate sources, trust the trace
Ownership matters, exceptions too
Build time testimony telling truth
SBOM policy, carved in stone
Know your stack, make threats known

[Bridge]
Security teams review the ledger
Development owns the cutting edge here
Legal signs off on license terms
Operations watches how it burns
Exceptions logged with formal proof
Audit trails must tell the truth

[Verse 3]
Format standards speak as one
SPDX and CycloneDX begun
Immutable records, tamper sealed
Digital signatures can't be peeled
Supply chain attacks meet their match
When every layer's in our catch

[Final Chorus]
Generate early, store it safe
Validate sources, trust the trace
Ownership matters, exceptions too
Build time testimony telling truth
SBOM policy, your guardian stone
Map every byte, make blindness known

[Outro]
Software bills of material
Transparency territorial
Build once, verify twice
Documentation pays the price
