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
