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
