(Ode to the DEFCON) Badgez (Clean Version)

This song was created as part of Team Osogato's winning Badge Hacking Contest entry at DEFCON, the world's the largest and oldest continuously running hacker and computer security convention in the world.

Lyrics:
170 hours of time that I spent
2 nights of my honeymoon (oh how I lament)
3 circuit board revisions to get the !@#* right
800,000 circuits that will bring them to light
6,000 hackers wearing the badge all in the name of glory
If you want to learn more just hear the !@#* story
A matrix of LEDs 5 columns 19 rows
Two coin cells will make them flow
Six text cutouts soldermask colors that you wanna show
Gotta be a vendor, press, or !@#* uber bro
On the power up the badge will not make a peep
But fear not the !@#* is only just asleep
Touch the top of the icon like you know just what to do
And get a text message that's intended just for you
Touch the top icon again and try not to !@#* move
Simple elementary this mode is custom text message entry
[Chorus x2]
I'm Joe Grand aka Kingpin
Just like badges I'll make your head spin
Back up !@#* I'm far from soft
A hacker not a poet I represent L0pht
Hit the bottom icon to begin your noble quest
Then use either icon to cycle through the list
Tap both icons to save the character queue
16 letters is the max that we do
When it's all done seek out the solid block
Tap both icons and the message will walk
Next mode: Set speed inscription
Change it like a drug prescription
Select velocity between 1 and 5
Which goes from slow and boring to a Maserati drive
Now we arrive at our last badge state
It's a special vision treat that we'll shove up in your face
Wave your badge up to your eyes in one direction
A secret message pops up like morning's first !@#*
The source code is open
Schematics are free to ya
Now you can be a !@#* hacker !@#*
[Chorus x2]
I'm Joe Grand aka Kingpin
Just like badges I'll make your head spin
Back up !@#* I'm far from soft
A hacker not a poet I represent L0pht
