Fermi'S Paradox       
                          
                                          
 On Earth  (The  Planet  Where I  Live) A 
 Lot  Of Us  Have Antennas  On Our Houses 
 Or   Balconies,  We  Have  Built   Large 
 Antennas  For  Larger Bandwith,  We Have 
      Build Specialized Antennaes For     
   Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them    
 Into Orbit), We'Ve  Built  Large As Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve Virtually Built An  Antenna With A 
          Dish As Large As Earth.         
                                          
 We'Ve Learned About Our  Position In The 
     Solar System, Our Solar Systems      
 Placement   In  The   Galaxy,  And   Our 
 Galaxys  Placement In The Local Cluster, 
 And Our  Local Clusters  Place In  The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And The Suns  Moving Around The 
 Center  Of The  Galaxy  At Velocity  And 
 The Galaxy Is  Moving  Toward  Andromeda 
    And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise   
 Around  The Galaxy. And We As  A Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And  Despite  All This,  Despite All Our 
    (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar   
 Radio  Programmes Out In  Fucking  Space 
 At  The  Speed Of  Light  (Light  Is Our 
  Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!), 
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
   Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious    
 Beaming  Of All  Our  Secrets  In  Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No       One        Has      Answered

              So Why Is That?             
                                          
 Most  Opponents  To  Intelligent Life In 
 The Universe  Say  It'S Because You Need 
 A  Class One-Or-The-Other  Star  And The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance  Away From The Star (Like There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But  Really   Isn'T   That  Keeping  The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I Think Everyone Agrees That  We Have No 
 Idea What We'Re Doing  (And  It Probably 
                  Shows)

 This Year And Try To  Snatch  Some Beers
